Savory Slow-Cooked Beef and Broccoli

1. Preheat Slow Cooker

Preheat your slow cooker on the low setting.

2. Season and Slice Beef

Take the beef chuck roast and season it generously with pink salt and freshly ground black pepper. Slice the beef thinly to ensure it cooks evenly and becomes tender. Place the seasoned beef slices into the slow cooker.

3. Prepare Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup of beef broth, ¼ cup of soy sauce (or coconut aminos), and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker, ensuring the beef is well-coated.

4. Slow Cook Beef

Set the slow cooker to cook on low for 4 hours. This slow cooking process allows the beef to become tender and flavorful, breaking down the connective tissues in the meat.

5. Add Broccoli

After 4 hours, check the beef to see if it is tender and can be easily pulled apart. If it is, add the 16-ounce bag of frozen broccoli to the slow cooker. If the mixture seems a bit dry, add a little more beef broth. Cook for an additional 30 minutes on low.

6. Serve

Once everything is cooked, serve the beef and broccoli hot. Enjoy the savory flavors and tender textures of this comforting dish.
