A simple and comforting slow-cooked beef and broccoli dish served with fragrant jasmine rice, perfect for busy weeknights and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1.5 cups jasmine rice
  • 3 cups water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast and cut into thin strips about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and oyster sauce if using until sugar dissolves.
  3. Place beef strips in the crockpot, pour sauce over the top, and stir gently to coat. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until beef is tender but not falling apart.
  4. About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, add broccoli florets on top. Cover and continue cooking until broccoli is bright green and tender but still crisp.
  5. While the last half hour is cooking, rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and a pinch of salt in a rice cooker or medium saucepan. Cook according to package instructions (about 15 minutes simmering, then resting off heat for 5 minutes).
  6. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir it into the crockpot and cook on high for 10-15 minutes uncovered to thicken the sauce slightly.
  7. Serve beef and broccoli over a bed of jasmine rice.

Notes

Use chuck roast or flank steak for best tenderness. Add broccoli late to avoid mushiness. Rinse jasmine rice well for fluffier texture. Thicken sauce at the end with cornstarch slurry for a glossy finish. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and ensure oyster sauce is gluten-free or omit it. Can substitute beef with tofu and beef broth with vegetable broth for vegetarian version.
