    • Dried Chili Flakes
    • Worcestershire Sauce
    • Beef Broth

    How to Make CrockPot Beef and Broccoli

    I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here's a quick version.

    1. Slice beef into thin strips, slicing across the grain, then season with salt and a dash of garlic powder.
    2. Add this to the slow cooker along with the onions and the sauce.
    3. Cook, the steak should be tenderย 
    4. Twenty minutes before serving, whisk the cornstarch and water and pour it to over the beef. Stir it, and then add the broccoli and snap peas.
    5. Serve with white rice.ย

    Preparation and Storage

    Make-Ahead: True to form with many Crockpot recipes, this slow cooker beef and broccoli recipe is make-ahead-friendly! Cook it on high for 3 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours, depending on when you need it done.

    Storage: Got leftovers of your slow cooker beef and broccoli? Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy them within four to five days.

    Freezing/How to Freeze: Leftovers freeze safely for up to three months. Store them in an airtight, freezer-safe container to keep the freezer burn at bay.

    How to Reheat: We like reheating individual leftovers in the microwave for speed and efficiency since we often cook for two, but leftover beef and broccoli also reheat well on the stovetop. Add some beef broth to any dry portions to liven them up again.

    ย 

    Recipe Variations

    Substitutions: Weโ€™ve seen versions that add oyster sauce or hoisin for extra flavor and a thicker sauce. Many large grocery stores stock these items, but check your local Asian grocer if you cannot find them where you usually shop. Keep in mind that anyone with shellfish allergies should avoid oyster sauce.

    We served this with white rice but you can defiantly use brown rice, cauliflower rice, or your preferred rice,

    For additional flavor you can garnish with red pepper flakes, green onions

    Vegetarian + Vegan Option: Tempeh and tofu are great plant-based substitutes for vegetarians and vegans, and they fit well taste-wise in this dish! Be sure also to replace the beef broth with vegetable broth.

    Gluten-Free: The barley malt vinegar in Worcestershire sauce makes it unsafe for a gluten-free diet. Coconut aminos are an alternative that contains no gluten or soy, making them a viable option for those with soy allergies. You can also use a bottled gluten free soy sauce or tamari

    Smaller Serving Size + Larger Group/More Servings: Scale the written recipe to your desired yield and your slow cookerโ€™s capacity. This recipe serves six people.

    Make it Spicy: Weโ€™ve seen versions that add sriracha or chili garlic paste for a kick of heat. These products are also widely available at larger grocery stores.

    Sugar-Free: This beef and broccoli dish contains 1 gram of sugar, making it a low-sugar entree.

    Tips for the Best Crockpot Beef and Broccoli

    • We suggest using a Slow Cooker with a digital timer that automatically switches the slow cooker to warm after a set time to ensure your dinner cooks perfectly and you don't have to stress about the cooking time.

    What to Serve with Crockpot Beef and Broccoli

    Pair this takeout favorite with other Chinese-American classics for an Asian-inspired feast at home! Here are some menu pairing suggestions and cocktails that would go well.

    Sides: Easy Fried Rice, Crock Pot Rice, Air Fryer Cream Cheese Rangoons

    Main Dishes: Orange Chicken and Broccoli, Crock Pot Cashew Chicken, Asian Flank Steak, CrockPot Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps, CrockPot Teriyaki Chicken

    Desserts: Mandarin Orange Jello Salad, Sriracha Caramel Corn, Mandarin Orange Angel Food Cake, 2 Ingredient Coconut Macaroon Cookies, Tropical No-Bake Truffles

      Any other sauce besides Worcestershire that I can use for this recipe unfortunately the sauce has wheat flour and I canโ€™t use it.

        Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce is gluten free. I have a gluten allergy so I have to read every label religiously.

      I love my slowcooker (all of them actually). This looks just like the dish you can get in a Chinese restaurant nearby.

      Looks so delicious! Really similar to a dish I make but with different veggies. This might be a good way to sneak broccoli into my diet ๐Ÿ™‚

      That looks wonderful and I love the ease of making it in a crock pot. This would be perfect for Monday nights when my daughter has dance class.
