Instructions
In the bowl of your Crockpot add the beef broth, coconut aminos, brown sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, ginger and pepper. Stir to combine.
Lay the beef roast strips in the crockpot evenly.
Cook on high heat 1-2 hours or low heat 4-5 hours.
30 minutes before the beef strips are done combine the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the beef mixture and stir to combine. Add the frozen broccoli and stir.
Continue to cook in the slow cooker until the beef is done and the broccoli is tender.
Make your rice to serve the beef and broccoli over. I like to make mine in the Instant Pot. I add 2 cups jasmine rice and 2 ½ cups water. Cook on manual for 3 minutes and let the pressure release naturally.

Top Tip
My favorite way to serve this is over rice. Jasmine rice is my favorite for its texture. I cook mine in my Instant Pot. I add 2 cups Jasmine Rice and 2 ½ cups water for 3 minutes on Manual. Then let the steam release naturally.
I'm aware that others say to do a one to one ratio with the rice and water. For me this allows the rice to stick together too much. Adding the extra ½ cup of water gives me rice that is easily fluffed with a fork and served.
