Using the slow cooker for chili, roast beef, pot roast or even Italian beef sandwiches is perfect for easy weekday meals. And this delicious crock pot version of beef and broccoli stir fry, made right in the slow cooker, is one of the best things I can think of to come home to on a week night!

What Beef To Use For Beef And Broccoli

You don't have to buy an expensive cut of meat to achieve perfect beef nirvana. Nope, the CrockPot will do all the heavy lifting for you, leaving your stomach (and your wallet) happy!

So go ahead and buy that flank steak, or eye round! It will turn out so tender you can cut it with a fork! (Full disclosure: even though it's more expensive, I sometimes buy pre-cut stewing beef, just to save a step! It's still way cheaper and better than takeout!)

How To Make CrockPot Beef and Broccoli

  1. Crank up the ol' CrockPot. Cut beef against the grain and chop onion. Place all ingredients in the slow cooker, except cornstarch and broccoli.
  2. Cook according to recipe, until beef is fork tender.
  3. At the end, add the broccoli and thicken the sauce. (Fresh broccoli is best, but frozen may be used, just test to make sure it heats all the way through.) That's all there will be to it!

The Best Beef and Broccoli Sauce

Ingredients you'll find in the best sauce usually have some combination of these ingredients:

  • Ginger for a burst of zesty flavour
  • Garlic for its savory undertones
  • Soy sauce or Tamari for authentic Asian taste
  • Brown sugar to pull it all together! (I used to leave this out, but I found that my family devours the broccoli when I keep it in! Apparently there is something about the flavor of broccoli florets soaked in this particular sauce that turns everyone into a veggie lover!)
  • Chili flakes combine with the fresh ginger to make this a sauce with zing, so go easy- you can always add more later!

What To Serve With Beef and Broccoli

Serve CrockPot Beef and Broccoli over a bed of rice for an amazing combination!

  • Use a fragrant rice like Jasmine, for something special.
  • Any long grain rice will taste incredible with the sauce.
  • For a healthy choice try using brown rice, just be aware that it takes much longer to cook!

Or, go low carb, and serve this alongside roasted cauliflower! Sprinkle some sesame seed and green onion on top for a garnish, and it will be even more special!
