Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs beef sirloin or flank steak thinly sliced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar or honey for a clean-eating option

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • Cooked white or brown rice for serving

  7. Step 4: Thicken the Sauce
  8. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water together. Add the mixture to the crockpot and stir.
  9. Step 5: Add Broccoli
  10. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook on HIGH for another 30 minutes, until the sauce thickens and broccoli becomes tender-crisp.

  12. Serve warm over steamed rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions for the perfect finishing touch.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use a splash of hoisin sauce or oyster sauce in the mix.
  • Frozen broccoli works well—just add it at the last 20–30 minutes of cooking.
  • For a low-carb meal, serve over cauliflower rice or shirataki noodles.
  • Leftovers make an amazing meal prep option for lunch or dinner.
