Description

This slow-cooked beef and broccoli is tender, flavorful, and tastes just like your favorite Chinese takeout—without leaving the house. Perfect for busy weeknights, this recipe uses simple ingredients and your crockpot to create a comforting, saucy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb beef (sirloin steak or boneless chuck roast), thinly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • 4 tbsp cold water
  • 1 (12 oz) bag frozen broccoli florets
  • Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds or chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Make the Sauce Base
    • In your 6-quart crockpot, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic. This will form the flavorful liquid that the beef cooks in.
  2. Add the Beef
    • Place the thinly sliced beef into the crockpot with the sauce. Stir gently to ensure every piece is coated. Cover and cook on low for about 5 hours, until the beef is tender and infused with the savory sauce.
  3. Thicken the Sauce
    • Once the beef is done, combine cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Pour this into the crockpot and stir well. The sauce will thicken as it simmers, giving it that glossy, restaurant-style texture.
  4. Add the Broccoli
    • Sprinkle the frozen broccoli florets over the beef and sauce. Gently stir to mix, cover, and cook on low for another 25–30 minutes. Check halfway through and stir carefully so the broccoli cooks evenly without becoming mushy.
  5. Serve
    • Spoon the beef and broccoli over freshly cooked white rice, if desired. For an extra touch, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut against the grain: Slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
  • Use fresh broccoli: If using fresh broccoli, add it in the last 15–20 minutes of cooking.
  • Extra flavor: Toss in a dash of crushed red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
  • Make it low-carb: Serve over cauliflower rice instead of white rice.
