Ingredients
For the beef and broccoli, you’ll need 1 ½ lbs of chuck roast, cut into bite-sized cubes, 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. For the sauce, you’ll need 1 cup of beef broth, ¼ cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar, 2 cloves of garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, minced, 1 teaspoon of chili garlic sauce, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
2. Add the broccoli to the slow cooker, then pour the beef broth, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and chili garlic sauce over the beef and broccoli. Give everything a stir to combine.
