Slow-Cooker Hoisin Five-Spice Beef with Broccoli
A slow cooker recipe for hoisin five-spice beef with broccoli that's healthy, delicious, and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin or tri-tip steak – thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 medium yellow onion – thinly sliced
- Toasted sesame seeds to garnish
For the Hoisin Five-Spice sauce:
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken or beef broth
- 1/4 tsp Season with Spice’s Sichuan-style Chinese Five Spice
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp rice wine
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves – minced
Instructions
- If you have time, brown the beef and onions on the stove before adding them into the slow cooker. You can skip the browning process, but it adds a nice, rich caramelized flavor that you can’t get by just cooking the beef and onions in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce and mix well.
- Pour the hoisin five-spice sauce over the beef and onions in the slow cooker. Toss to coat.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the beef is tender to your preference.
- Serve with steamed rice and broccoli. Garnish the beef with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
