Description

Slow-cooked flank steak simmers in a rich soy and garlic broth until meltingly tender, then mingles with bright green broccoli florets. A glossy sesame-scented sauce and crunchy scallions complete each mouthwatering bite.


Ingredients

  • 2 pounds flank steak thinly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds


Instructions

  1. Place sliced flank steak in the crockpot and pour in beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
  2. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until beef is tender.
  3. About 30 minutes before serving, add broccoli florets to the crockpot and stir gently.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water, then pour the slurry into the crockpot. Stir and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, marinate the steak in the sauce overnight before cooking.
  • Adjust broccoli cooking time if you prefer it more crisp or tender.
  • Serve this dish over steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or your favorite noodles.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
