Ingredients

1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup beef broth
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

Step 1: Place the sliced beef, minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, beef broth, and brown sugar into the crockpot. Stir gently to combine.
Step 2: Cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Step 3: About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water to create a slurry, then stir it into the sauce in the crockpot to thicken.
Step 4: Add the broccoli florets, cover, and continue cooking for another 20 to 30 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
Step 5: Stir everything together and serve hot, ideally over steamed rice or noodles.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the beef in the soy and oyster sauce mixture for 30 minutes before adding to the crockpot.
Use cauliflower florets instead of broccoli for a low-carb variation.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch to 1.5 tablespoons or add it gradually until your desired consistency is reached.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of beef broth or water if the sauce becomes too thick.

How to Serve

The dish shows a white plate filled with a base layer of fluffy, white rice with a slightly separated texture. On top, there is a mix of dark brown glazed beef slices and small, bright green broccoli florets, all coated with a shiny sauce. It is garnished with chopped green onions scattered unevenly over the beef and broccoli. A pair of light wooden chopsticks hold a piece of beef above the plate, with the background showing a soft-focus wooden bowl and scattered green onion pieces on a white marbled surface.
