 This is an older recipe on the blog but had to update since its just such and easy go-to meal for the family.  It can easily be adapted to Keto- friendly if you skip the rice or add in a Keto friendly side instead of the rice.

When I first made this, I was able to put it in the slow cooker before we headed to the pool and when I got home dinner was ready…just like magic!

Steak:

This recipe calls for flank steak, thinly sliced. You will definitely get the best results with flank steak. The slices can be separated into bite sized pieces with a fork.  If you don’t have it available or it’s just not in the budget, I’ve also used sirloin tenderized with a meat tenderizer before hand (you can pound it to about 2/3 thickness, don’t overdo it!) and then very thinly slice it.  It’s still steak and doesn’t break the budget if you need to feed a lot of people. Be sure to trim all fat off the cheaper steak cuts, since it is difficult to do after it’s cooked.

On occasion I will also see NY Strip Steak marked down.  This is a great cut to tenderize and throw into just about any slow cooker meal. I will buy “reduced” price steak if I can throw it into the freezer immediately when I get home from the store, or they are going into the slow cooker or oven immediately.

Hope you enjoy this easy Beef and Broccoli in the Slow Cooker meal!
