Ingredients
Sauce Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup honey
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 4 cloves garlic grated*
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh ginger grated*
Everything Else:
- 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast cubed
- 16 ounces broccoli florets (fresh or frozen) about 2 crowns
- 1 ½ cups white rice
- sesame seeds optional
Instructions
Make the sauce:
- Inside the slow cooker’s dish, whisk the sauce ingredients until they're combined.
Cup of Yum
Prep the beef:
- On a cutting board, remove any excess fat from the beef roast. Cube it into 1-inch pieces and add them into the beef sauce. Stir to coat them with the sauce.
Slow Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high for 5 hours.
45 Minutes Before Serving:
- Check that the beef feels tender. It should begin to separate easily with a fork. Add the broccoli florets to the slow cooker and mix to coat with the sauce. You can also steam the broccoli separately, on the stovetop or microwave before serving.
- Cook the rice according to the package directions.
Serve:
- Scoop a serving of rice into a bowl. Top with the beef and broccoli and a few spoonfuls of sauce over the top. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired.
- Refrigerate leftovers in air-tight containers for up to 3 days.
