Notes
- If you like a thicker sauce, add in the arrowroot an hour before you’re ready to eat. If you don’t mind a thinner sauce, thirty minutes is plenty.
- Make sure to use gluten-free or low sodium soy sauce as needed. Tamari also works..
- Make sure the broccoli is in bite-size but larger chunks. Otherwise, they’ll get too soft.
- Because slow cooker beef cooks so slowly in its juice, any cut of beef will work. However, chunk steak gives the most tender texture and absorbs the best.
- Both chicken broth and beef broth will work as the base for this beef and broccoli. I use bone broth powder more often than not because it's simply easier.
