I love introducing my kids to all kinds of flavors. This Asian-inspired slow-cooker meal is one of their favorites, so I serve it often. —Brandy Stansbury Edna, Texas

Ingredients

2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 garlic cloves, minced
1 beef top sirloin steak (1-1/2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
Hot cooked rice
Optional: Sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions

Directions

In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 5 ingredients. Add beef; stir to coat. Cover and cook on low until tender, about 6 hours.
In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until thickened, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, place a steamer basket over 1 in. water. Place broccoli in basket. Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer; steam, covered, until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir broccoli into slow cooker. Serve over rice. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
