Slow-Cooker Beef & Vegetables

Serves 4

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lb sirloin steak, sliced thinly or into strips
  • 1 C low-sodium beef broth
  • 1/2 C low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 C brown sugar (1/3 C if you prefer more savory and spice)
  • 3 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp Sriracha
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 4-5 tsp minced garlic from a jar)
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 3-4 C broccoli florets
  • 1 1/2 C carrot chips
  • Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning for garnish, to taste
  • Green onions, for garnish, to taste

  

Directions:

  1. Place steak strips in large slow cooker. Add beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, sriracha, and garlic. Stir to combine.
  2. Cover. Cook on low until beef is tender and cooked through, about 4 hours.
  3. When steak is tender, spoon 3-4 Tbsp of slow-cooker juices into small bowl. Replace cooker cover.
  4. To same small bowl, slowly add cornstarch while whisking to combine. Pour mixture into slow cooker and toss with beef until combined. Add vegetables. Replace cooker cover. Cook 20 minutes.
  5. If serving with rice or noodles, prepare as packaging instructs while vegetables cook.
  6. Serve warm, atop starch of choice, garnished with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning and green onions.

 

TIP: More colors = more nutrients! Add another vegetable, or try rainbow-colored carrots for additional nutrient diversity.

  • For the carrot chips: sliced or baby carrots
  • For the Sriracha: ketchup
  • For the corn starch: potato starch, arrowroot starch, or 4 Tbsp flour
  • For the soy sauce: gluten-free Tamari or Braggs liquid aminos
