 Cooking Tips

• Make sure you don’t add the broccoli at the start of cooking otherwise it will go like mush and become an ugly looking green. It’s still edible but won’t be as nice in texture and flavor.
• Low sodium soy sauce is a recommendation, however, you can still use normal soy. I would recommend halving the amount you use as it may make the dish too salty.
• When you put the broccoli into the slow cooker is probably a good time to get some rice cooking. Once the rice is done, the beef and broccoli in the slow cooker should be ready to eat.
• If you like a runny sauce, then reduce the amount of cornstarch down to just one tablespoon.
• You can use frozen or fresh broccoli. If you're using frozen, then make sure you defrost it before adding it to the slow cooker.
• If you don't have chuck beef then basically any tough cut of beef will be fine. Plenty of people use flank steak with great results.
