How to make Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli:

Ingredient Notes:

• Stir Fry Beef – Stir Fry Beef works best for tender slices, but stew meat is a great budget-friendly option.
• Beef Broth – Use low sodium broth.

• Sesame Oil – adds a nice flavor to the beef.
• Brown Sugar – sweetens the sauce a little.
• Garlic Powder
