Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prepare the Beef: Slice the beef into thin strips and place them in the crock pot.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. This combination will create the sweet and tangy flavor profile.
- Cook the Beef: Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the crock pot. Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the beef is tender.
- Add Broccoli: About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the crock pot. Adjust the time based on how tender you prefer the broccoli.
- Thicken the Sauce: Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir this into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
- Final Touches: Once the dish is ready, give it a good stir to ensure everything is well coated with the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish. Serve your sweet and tangy beef and broccoli over cooked rice or noodles.
- Enjoy!: Your delicious, home-cooked sweet and tangy beef and broccoli is ready to be enjoyed.
