# Step-by-Step Guide:

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together beef broth, low sodium soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic until the sugar is dissolved.

Arrange sliced beef chuck roast strips evenly in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the beef and toss to coat the meat thoroughly.

Cover and cook on LOW setting for 5 to 6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.

One hour before cooking completes, ladle 0.25 cup of the cooking liquid into a small bowl and whisk with cornstarch until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry back into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.

Add frozen broccoli florets to the slow cooker during the final 30 minutes of cooking. Allow the broccoli to heat through and become tender-crisp.
06 -
Spoon beef and broccoli over freshly cooked white rice and serve hot.

For a thicker sauce, let the cornstarch slurry simmer with the beef for the full remaining hour after adding.
