Ingredients
1.5 lbs flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup beef broth (alcohol-free)
Instructions
Place the thinly sliced flank steak in a slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, beef broth, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and toss to coat evenly.
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until the beef is tender.
Serve warm over brown rice or with steamed greens.
Notes
Always slice the beef against the grain to ensure optimal tenderness. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk a teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
