Description
Tender beef and crisp broccoli in a savory sweet sauce, made effortlessly in your slow cooker for a better than takeout experience.
Ingredients
- Beef: 1.5 pounds flank steak or sirloin, sliced thin against the grain
- Sauce: ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ⅓ cup beef broth, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- Thickener: 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water
- Broccoli: 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- Garnish: Sliced green onions, sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef and Sauce: Slice the beef thinly against the grain. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, honey, hoisin, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Place the beef slices in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over, tossing gently to coat.
- Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1.5-2 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
- Add Broccoli and Finish: Stir in the broccoli florets, cover, and cook another 20-30 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop. Freeze without broccoli for up to 3 months; add fresh broccoli when reheating.
