Start by cutting your beef (flank steak, chuck, or sirloin) into thin strips. This helps the beef cook evenly and absorb all the flavors from the sauce.

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, beef broth, and brown sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are fully blended. This sauce will create the base of your dish, adding savory and slightly sweet flavors.

Place the beef strips in the bottom of your crock pot. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef, ensuring it’s all coated. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the beef is tender and fully cooked.

Once the beef is ready, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water to make a slurry. Stir it into the crock pot and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on high to thicken the sauce. This will give the dish a silky, rich texture.

About 30 minutes before serving, add the broccoli florets to the crock pot. Stir gently, ensuring the broccoli is coated with the sauce. Cover and let it cook until tender but still vibrant.

Once everything is cooked to perfection, serve your beef and broccoli over rice or enjoy it on its own. The savory, tender beef, paired with the crispy, tender broccoli, will make this meal a hit every time!
