Easy Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 beef bouillon cube
• 1 cup warm water
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.33 cup brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1.5 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

Instructions

1. Gather all necessary ingredients for the recipe.
2. Dissolve a beef bouillon cube in warm water in a bowl; then, mix in soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Place the beef strips into the slow cooker.
4. Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the beef.
5. Cover the slow cooker and cook until the beef becomes very tender. Cook on Low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or on High heat for about 4 hours.
6. Remove 2 tablespoons of liquid from the slow cooker and put into a separate bowl. Whisk in cornstarch until smooth, then stir this cornstarch mixture back into the slow cooker, ensuring even color distribution.
7. Cook on High heat until the sauce reaches your desired thickness, approximately 30 minutes.
8. Steam fresh broccoli florets using a steamer insert in a saucepan with boiling water, cook until tender, about 2 to 6 minutes. Add the steamed broccoli to the beef and sauce in the slow cooker, stirring gently to coat evenly.
9. Serve the slow cooker beef and broccoli over cooked jasmine rice, and garnish with sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
