Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli.
Step 1
To start your delicious beef and broccoli dish, take a bowl and crumble a beef bouillon cube into warm water.
Step 2
Stir it gently until it’s completely dissolved, creating a flavorful base.
Step 3
Next, add in soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil, mixing everything together until the sugar melts away into the liquid.
Step 4
Now, grab your beef strips and place them in the slow cooker, pouring the savory sauce mixture over them.
Step 5
Make sure every piece of beef is well-coated for maximum flavor.
Step 6
Cover the slow cooker and set it to Low for 6 to 8 hours or High for 4 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and infused with all those wonderful flavors.
Step 7
Once your beef is cooked to perfection, take a moment to thicken the sauce.
Step 8
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid into a small bowl and whisk in some cornstarch until it’s smooth.
Step 9
Stir this mixture back into the slow cooker, blending it well until the sauce takes on a consistent color.
Step 10
Turn the slow cooker to High and let it cook for an additional 30 minutes, giving the sauce time to thicken beautifully.
Step 11
While the sauce is working its magic, it’s time to prepare the broccoli.
Step 12
Set up a steamer insert in a saucepan filled with water, making sure the water is just below the bottom of the steamer.
Step 13
Bring the water to a boil and steam the broccoli for about 2 to 6 minutes, until it’s tender yet still vibrant.
Step 14
Once the broccoli is ready, gently add it to the slow cooker, stirring to coat it in that rich, flavorful sauce.
Step 15
Finally, serve your mouthwatering beef and broccoli over fluffy jasmine rice, and if you like, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for an extra touch of flavor and crunch.
Step 16
Enjoy this comforting meal that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
