This Crockpot Beef & Broccoli recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make slow cooker dish featuring tender beef sirloin and fresh broccoli florets simmered in a savory soy sauce and brown sugar marinade. Perfectly cooked over several hours, this comforting meal is an effortless weeknight dinner served best over steamed rice.

Ingredients

Beef and Sauce Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs beef sirloin, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Add the sliced beef sirloin, beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic into the crockpot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  2. Cook the beef: Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is tender and cooked through.
  3. Make cornstarch slurry: In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water until smooth to form a slurry.
  4. Thicken the sauce: About 30 minutes before serving, stir the cornstarch slurry into the crockpot to thicken the sauce.
  5. Add broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow them to soften but remain slightly crisp.
  6. Serve: Once the broccoli is tender and the sauce has thickened, serve the beef and broccoli hot over steamed rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Slice beef sirloin thinly to ensure quicker cooking and tender results.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Adjust brown sugar quantity to taste for a sweeter or less sweet sauce.
  • If you prefer softer broccoli, add it earlier but be careful not to overcook.
  • Serve with steamed white or brown rice or noodles for a hearty meal.
