Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs beef chuck, thinly sliced and chopped into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup beef bone broth
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 4 green onions, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch + 4 tablespoon cold water
  • ¼ cup toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 cup uncooked Jasmine rice

Instructions

  • In a large crockpot, add the steak, beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. 30 minutes before serving, whisk cornstarch and water until dissolved in a small bowl and add to slow cooker. Stir in broccoli and cover and cook for another 20 minutes to allow sauce to thicken and broccoli to cook.
  • Meanwhile, cook 1 cup jasmine rice according to instructions. 
  • Taste and season with salt if desired and add more beef broth if you need to thin the sauce. Serve with toasted sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

  • Be consistent with slicing the beef thinly so it cooks evenly and isn't tough.
  • If you like some heat, add more sriracha or use crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Fresh broccoli is best for this recipe, but you can use frozen in a pinch.
