Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup coconut aminos (a Whole30-compliant soy sauce substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish - optional)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish - optional)

Instructions:

  1. Place the diced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of a 3-4 quart slow cooker.
  2. Season the beef strips with salt and pepper. Add them to the slow cooker on top of the onions and garlic.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and minced ginger. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours or on high heat for 1-1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  5. With 30 minutes left of cook time, add the broccoli florets to the slow cooker. Stir everything together to coat the broccoli in the sauce.
  6. Cover and continue cooking until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions (if desired).
