Description

A savory, tender, and saucy beef broccoli crockpot bowl that’s perfect for busy weeknights or easy meal prep. This slow cooker version delivers classic Asian-style flavors — sweet, salty, and garlicky — with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ lbs (680 g) beef chuck or flank steak, thinly sliced
1 cup (240 ml) low-sodium beef broth
½ cup (120 ml) soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
¼ cup (60 ml) honey or brown sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for thickening)
3 cups (270 g) broccoli florets
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cups cooked white or brown rice (for serving)
Optional: sliced green onions, sesame seeds

Instructions

Add sliced beef, beef broth, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to the crockpot. Stir to coat evenly.
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours until beef is tender.
Mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour into crockpot during the last 30 minutes.
Add broccoli and cook until bright green and crisp-tender.

Notes

Slice beef thinly across the grain for tenderness. Add carrots or bell peppers for extra color. Double the sauce if serving with noodles. Freeze sauce and beef raw in a freezer bag for easy prep. For spice, add chili flakes or Sriracha. Serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
