03 - 2 tbsp brown sugar
04 - 2 tbsp oyster sauce
05 - 1 tbsp sesame oil
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

15 - 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
02 - Transfer the beef mixture to the slow cooker. Add beef broth and stir gently to combine.
03 - Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours, until the beef is tender.
04 - Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to form a slurry, then stir it into the slow cooker.
05 - Add broccoli florets to the slow cooker, stir gently, cover, and cook on low for an additional 45 to 60 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender and the sauce thickens.
06 - While the slow cooker finishes, bring water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add brown rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork.
07 - Stir mixed greens into the slow cooker and allow them to wilt for 2 to 3 minutes just before serving.
08 - Plate the beef and broccoli mixture over cooked brown rice. Garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
