Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef

A better than take-out recipe for broccoli beef made in the slow cooker! Made with thinly sliced flank steak and crunchy broccoli that's perfect over a bed of rice. Let the slow cooker take care of dinner for you!

Yield: 5-6 Servings

Ingredients

• 1 ½ - 1 ¾ pound flank steak, sliced into 2 inch pieces
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• ½ - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to preference)
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ⅓ cup light brown sugar
• 1 yellow onion, cut into 1 inch dice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 pound broccoli florets
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Instructions

1. In a small bowl or a 2 cup measuring cup, combine the ingredients for the sauce - beef broth, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, and brown sugar. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves.
2. Spray a 5-8 quart slow cooker with cooking spray so the food doesn't stick. Add the sliced beef and diced onions in and pour the sauce over. Stir to combine. Allow the slow cooker to cook on the low heat setting for 4-5 hours or the high heat setting for 2-3 hours.
3. About 35 minutes before the cooking time is up, combine ½ cup of the cooking liquid (from the slow cooker) and the cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves. This will take a few minutes, be patient. It'll look like it's completely seized up but within 2-3 minutes it should dissolve completely. Add to the slow cooker and allow for the food to cook for the remaining 30 minutes.
4. Just before serving: Place the broccoli florets in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of water. Place in the microwave and cover with a plastic microwave cover. Zap for 1-2 minutes on high or until the broccoli turns bright green. Stir the broccoli into the slow cooker and drizzle with the sesame oil. Serve warm over a bed of jasmine rice.
