Crockpot Beef and Broccoli
Ingredients
-
1 beef bouillon cube
-
1 cup warm water
-
½ cup less sodium soy sauce or to taste
-
⅓ cup brown sugar
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
1 ½ pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch strips
-
2 tablespoons cornstarch
-
2 pounds broccoli florets, or to taste
-
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
-
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish (Optional)
Instructions
Dissolve a beef bouillon cube in warm water, then stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and sesame oil until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Place the beef strips in the slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over them.
Cover the slow cooker and cook until the beef is tender enough to be easily cut with a spoon—cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or on High for 4 hours.
Transfer 2 tablespoons of the liquid from the slow cooker into a bowl. Whisk in cornstarch and then stir the mixture back into the slow cooker until the sauce becomes uniform in color.
Continue cooking on High until the sauce thickens, about 30 minutes.
Place a steamer basket into a saucepan and add water just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil.
Steam the broccoli until tender, about 2 to 6 minutes, then add it to the sauce in the slow cooker and stir to coat.
Serve the beef and broccoli over portions of cooked jasmine rice, topped with the sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Cook’s Tip
If the sauce isn't thickening, ladle it out and simmer on the stove until it reaches the desired consistency, then return it to the slow cooker.
