This is what readers thought of the recipe over at Divas Can Cook, once they had tried it:
This recipe was such a big hit with my picky eating family!!! Everyone ate it and loved it! I can’t even remember when everyone liked what I cooked!
It really is tasty, and so easy to prepare!
Ingredients
- 1.2 lbs steak (I used flank steak), cut into strips
- ½ cup white or yellow onions, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- fresh ginger, grated (optional)
- 1 cup chicken or beef broth, warmed
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ¼- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2-3 tablespoons cornstarch, to thicken
- 3-4 cups fresh broccoli, steamed
- white rice, prepared
- Garnish (red pepper flakes, sesame seeds)
Instructions:
- Add steak, onions, garlic and fresh ginger into the slow cooker. (I prefer using my small slow cooker with this recipe)
- In a medium size bowl stir together broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until brown sugar has dissolved.
- Pour mixture into slow cooker and stir.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until steak is tender to your liking.
- Stir in cornstarch to thicken the sauce. (Alternatively you can scoop out ¼ cup of broth mixture and mix it with cornstarch to create a thick sauce and then pour this back into the slow cooker to prevent lumps. I never do this though)
- Taste and adjust seasonings if desired (sometimes I’ll add in some powdered onion and powdered garlic, black pepper, sriracha and salt, depending on the type of broth & soy sauce I use)
- To serve, place rice on a plate and top with beef and broccoli.
Quick Tip: Steam broccoli quickly by covering in a microwave safe bowl with plastic wrap and microwaving for 5-7 minutes.
