Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- Cooked white or jasmine rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions
- Place sliced beef in the crockpot.
- In a bowl, mix beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Pour over the beef.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2.5-3 hours until beef is tender.
- Whisk cornstarch and water together and stir into the crockpot 30 minutes before serving.
- Add broccoli florets, cover, and cook for another 30 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Serve hot over rice and garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
Notes
- Add broccoli only in the last 30 minutes to prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use frozen broccoli if needed; no need to thaw first.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicier kick.
- Serve with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
