Sure, here’s a simple and delicious Crockpot Beef and Broccoli recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds beef chuck roast, thinly sliced into strips
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup oyster sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water (for slurry)
- Cooked rice (for serving)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Place the beef slices in the crockpot. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef, making sure all pieces are well coated.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the beef is tender.
- Prepare Broccoli: About 30 minutes before the beef is done, steam the broccoli until tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can add the broccoli directly to the crockpot for the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
- Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crockpot and cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve: Serve the beef and broccoli over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the beef slices in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and a bit of sugar for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- To save time, you can use pre-cut broccoli florets.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your taste preference.
Enjoy your delicious Crockpot Beef and Broccoli!
