beef

🥗Healthier: lean beef

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Lean beef is lower in fat; chicken thighs are often more affordable.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

Lower sodium option for a healthier profile.

Thinly slice 1.5 pounds of beef (sirloin tip) across the grain.

Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper.

Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with olive oil.

Pour the seasoned beef into the slow cooker.

In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of beef stock, 1/2 cup of low sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 3 cloves of minced garlic.

Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.

After 4 hours, scoop out about 1/2 cup of the broth into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, whisking it together.

Pour the cornstarch mixture back into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce (optional).

Stir to distribute the sauce and break up any beef strips.

Add 3 cups of broccoli florets to the slow cooker.

Cover and let it cook.
