Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Beef:

  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak or sirloin (thinly sliced against the grain)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced or grated)
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For Thickening:

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

For Serving:

  • 4 cups broccoli florets (steamed or blanched)
  • cooked white rice
  • sesame seeds and green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes if using.
  2. Cook the Beef: Place sliced beef into the crockpot and pour the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until beef is tender.
  3. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.
  4. Finish and Serve: Just before serving, steam or blanch the broccoli until tender-crisp and stir it into the beef mixture. Serve hot over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For a low-carb version, serve over cauliflower rice.
  • You can add carrots or bell peppers for extra veggies and color.
