Description

This slow-cooker twist on the classic American-Chinese dish gives you tender beef, a rich savory sauce, and perfectly cooked broccoli with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs beef flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon shredded ginger
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • Cooked jasmine rice
  • Sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions


Instructions

  1. Slice the beef against the grain for tenderness.
  2. Whisk together broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and oyster sauce.
  3. Add sliced beef to the slow cooker and pour the sauce over the top.
  4. Cook on low for about 4 hours until beef is tender.
  5. Mix cornstarch and cold water into a slurry and stir it into the slow cooker.
  6. Stir in fresh broccoli and cook for 20–30 minutes until broccoli softens.
  7. Serve over jasmine rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

  1. Add broccoli only at the end for best texture.
  2. Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
  3. Store leftovers up to 4 days and reheat gently.
