Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli
Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli combines thinly sliced beef chuck roast with a savory sauce made from beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. The slow cooking tenderizes the beef over 90 minutes on low, and finishing with fresh broccoli steamed in the sauce brings vibrant color and a crisp-tender texture. Cornstarch thickens the sauce for a glossy finish. This set-it-and-forget-it approach results in a balanced dish with a sweet-savory glaze and tender vegetables, suitable for an easy family dinner served over rice or noodles.
