Crockpot Beef and Broccoli is a flavorful and easy slow-cooker dish featuring tender slices of beef simmered in a savory soy-garlic sauce, served with crisp-tender broccoli over rice. It’s a comforting and convenient take on the classic Chinese-American favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In the crockpot, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Add sliced beef and stir to coat. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the beef is tender.
  3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir into the crockpot and cook on high for 20-30 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Meanwhile, steam or microwave the broccoli until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir the cooked broccoli into the beef mixture or serve on the side.
  6. Serve hot over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • You can use frozen broccoli, but steam it separately to avoid overcooking.
  • Adjust sweetness or saltiness by varying sugar and soy sauce to taste.
  • Make it spicier with extra red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha.
