My crockpot beef and broccoli recipe is loaded with tender beef, crisp broccoli, and a savory garlic soy sauce.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck roast, cut into ¼-inch strips
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • â…“ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen broccoli florets (about 3 cups)

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce by whisking beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic together in a medium bowl.
  2. Add beef strips to a 4–7-quart slow cooker and pour the sauce over, tossing to coat.
  3. Cook on LOW for 2.5–3.5 hours. About 1 hour before it’s done, remove ¼ cup of the sauce and whisk with cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir back into the slow cooker.
  4. At the final 30 minutes, add frozen broccoli and stir to combine. For softer broccoli, partially thaw it before adding, or add earlier in the cook time.
  5. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with white rice.
