Instructions

Start by arranging the beef cubes: evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Pour the sauce over the beef: Ensure all pieces are well coated.
Cover and cook: Cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
Make a slurry: About 30 minutes before serving, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl.
Stir in the slurry: Add the slurry to the slow cooker and stir to thicken the sauce.
Add broccoli and cook: Place broccoli florets on top of the beef, cover, and cook on HIGH for 20 to 30 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Stir to coat: Gently stir beef and broccoli together to coat in the thickened sauce.
Serve and garnish: Serve hot over cooked rice, topped with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
