Ingredients
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅛ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup broth
- 1.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ tbs garlic powder
- 4 cups cubed beef
- 8 cups chopped broccoli
- 1.5 tbs arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Chop the beef into chunks and the broccoli into bites.
- In the crock pot, whisk together the soya sauce, garlic, maple syrup, and sesame oil.
- Add in the beef and mix until coated.
- Cook on low for 6 hours.
- Thirty minutes before you’re ready to eat, take ¼ cup of sauce out of the slow cooker and whisk in the arrowroot powder until no clump remains. Pour it back into the crockpot.
- Toss in the broccoli and cook on low for thirty more minutes.
- Serve on rice (optional) topped with sesame seeds if you have them.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If you like a thicker sauce, add in the arrowroot an hour before you’re ready to eat. If you don’t mind a thinner sauce, thirty minutes is plenty.
- Make sure to use gluten-free or low sodium soy sauce as needed. Tamari also works..
- Make sure the broccoli is in bite-size but larger chunks. Otherwise, they’ll get too soft.
- Because slow cooker beef cooks so slowly in its juice, any cut of beef will work. However, chunk steak gives the most tender texture and absorbs the best.
- Both chicken broth and beef broth will work as the base for this beef and broccoli. I use bone broth powder more often than not because it's simply easier.
