By tbclay

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds flank steak, thinly sliced and chopped into 2 inch pieces
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons corn starch + 4 tablespoons cold water

Preparation

Step 1

Grease the inside of a slow cooker. Add steak, beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and chili flakes. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low 4-5 hours.

30 minutes before serving, uncover the slow cooker. In a small bowl whisk cornstarch and water until dissolved. Add to slow cooker and stir. Cover and allow to cook another 20-25 minutes.

Just before serving, place broccoli in a large tupperware, fill with ½ inch of water, and place the lid on in an off-set manner so that the container can vent. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain, stir broccoli into slow cooker, and serve.
