Description
- Discover the best Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli recipe! Tender beef, savory sauce, and broccoli in one easy dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup beef broth (or consomme)
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cups frozen broccoli florets (approximately one 14-ounce bag)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Whisk the mixture until everything is well blended.
- Set Up the Crockpot:
- Place the sliced beef strips into your crockpot. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef, ensuring the strips are evenly coated.
- Cook Low and Slow:
- Cover the crockpot and set it to low. Let it cook for about 5–6 hours, checking after 5 hours to ensure the beef doesn’t overcook and shred.
- Thicken the Sauce:
- About 1 hour before the beef is done, remove ¼ cup of the cooking sauce from the crockpot. In a small bowl, whisk this sauce with the cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the crockpot, stirring gently to combine.
- Add Broccoli:
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the frozen broccoli florets to the crockpot. Stir to mix them with the sauce and beef. Allow the broccoli to cook until tender but still firm.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the beef and broccoli over steamed white rice for a complete meal. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
