Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli Recipe

Step 1

Set your slow cooker to the Brown/Sauté setting (see the note below if you don’t have this option), and put the steak into the basin of the slow cooker. Sear for a few minutes per side, just until the outsides of the meat are browned.

Step 2

Whisk the beef broth, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Pour over the beef.

Step 3

Cover the slow cooker, and cook for 2-4 hours on low, or 1-2 hours on high.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cook the quinoa in the chicken broth in a medium saucepan. To do so, cover and bring to a boil, then remove the lid and simmer until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 5

Scoop 1/2 cup of the sauce out of the slow cooker, and whisk it with the cornstarch to create a slurry.

Step 6

Add the cornstarch slurry and the broccoli to the slow cooker, and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.

Step 7

Serve the beef and broccoli over the cooked quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds.
