Slow-Cooker Beef and Broccoli
- In a 6-quart slow cooker, whisk the broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger.
- Add the beef strips and stir so they are all coated.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender. It will be well above the safe 145°F (63°C).
- In a cup, stir the cornstarch and water into a smooth slurry.
- Stir the slurry into the slow cooker, then add the broccoli on top and gently fold it in.
- Cover and cook on HIGH until the sauce thickens and the broccoli is crisp-tender.
- Serve over rice with sesame seeds and green onions.
- Cook to 145°F inside (check with a thermometer).
