High-Protein Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli

Prep time: 15 mins | Slow Cooker time: 3–4 hrs (Low) | Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs (700g) Flank Steak or Sirloin Steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 4 cups Fresh Broccoli Florets
• ½ cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (or Coconut Aminos)
• 1 cup Low-Sodium Beef Bone Broth (boosts protein and depth)
• ⅓ cup Brown Sugar Substitute (or Honey / Maple Syrup)
• 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
• 1 tbsp Fresh Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, minced
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch (or Arrowroot Powder) + 2 tbsp Water
• Garnish: Toasted Sesame Seeds & Fresh Chopped Green Onions

Instructions

1. Make the Sauce:In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef bone broth, brown sweetener, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined.
2. Slow Cook the Beef:Place the thinly sliced beef into the slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the beef. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours (or HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours) until the beef is tender.
3. Thicken the Sauce:About 30 minutes before serving, whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to make a slurry. Pour it into the slow cooker and stir well.
4. Add the Broccoli:Add the fresh broccoli florets on top, gently press them down into the warm sauce, cover, and cook for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the sauce has thickened into a rich glaze.
5. Serve:Serve warm over cauliflower rice, white rice, or quinoa. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
