Ingredients
For the Slow Cooker Beef
- 1 lb flank steak sliced the width of a pencil
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup gluten-free soy sauce regular is fine if that's what you have
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tsp ginger minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flake
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 12 oz bag frozen broccoli florets or 4 cups fresh, raw
- 4 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 tbsp water
To serve
- white rice
- green onion
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Slice the steak into pencil width pieces, then transfer to the slow cooker-unless you're preparing the night ahead, then transfer to a plastic bag or glass container.
- Add chicken stock, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
- Cook on low for 6 hours.
- In a small bowl, mix together corn starch and water, set aside. 30 minutes before serving, pour in and stir. Then add broccoli, let everything finish cooking together.
- Serve over white rice, sprinkle with some green onion and sesame seeds.
Notes
Your sauce will thicken as long as the slow cooker is still in cooking mode. If you need, turn the temp up to high to get the cornstarch working. You can always add another tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of sauce from the pot.
