Ingredients

Protein And Vegetables

1 pound beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups broccoli florets
1 cup carrots, sliced

Sauce Ingredients

½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare The Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined. This sauce thickens as it cooks and coats everything nicely.

Step 2: Add Ingredients To Slow Cooker

Place the beef, broccoli florets, and sliced carrots into the slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the top and gently stir so everything is evenly coated.

Step 3: Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. The beef should be tender and the vegetables cooked through but not mushy.

Step 4: Serve

Give the stir fry a final stir before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like, then serve over rice or noodles.

Tips For Best Results

Slice the beef against the grain so it stays tender.
If you prefer firmer broccoli, add it during the last hour of cooking.
For extra sauce, double the sauce ingredients and cook as directed.

Easy Variations

Extra Veggies: Add bell peppers or snap peas during the last 2 hours.
Lighter Option: Use low sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
Kid Friendly: Serve with plain rice and let kids add sauce as they like.

FAQs
