A simple and flavorful keto-friendly crockpot recipe that delivers tender beef and crisp broccoli with a savory, low-carb sauce, perfect for a quick and comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds beef chuck roast, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder or xanthan gum (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted for garnish

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast and slice it thinly against the grain into strips about 1/4-inch thick. (Tip: partially freezing the meat for 30 minutes makes slicing easier.)
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, beef broth, minced garlic, grated ginger, erythritol, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Place the sliced beef in the crockpot and pour the sauce mixture over it, stirring gently to coat all pieces.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is tender and flavorful.
  5. About 30 minutes before the beef is done, add the fresh broccoli florets on top of the beef in the crockpot. Stir gently to mix them in, then cover and continue cooking until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
  6. If a thicker sauce is desired, mix arrowroot powder or xanthan gum with cold water to make a slurry and stir into the crockpot during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  7. Once done, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Partially freezing the beef before slicing makes it easier to cut thin strips. Add broccoli in the last 30 minutes to keep it crisp. For a thicker sauce, use arrowroot powder or xanthan gum mixed with cold water. If sauce is too watery, remove lid in last 30 minutes to reduce. Can substitute chicken thighs for beef, adjusting cooking time accordingly. Use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce if coconut aminos are unavailable. Sesame oil can be swapped with olive oil for allergies.
