Ingredients

1 ½ pounds flank steak (or beef chuck) , sliced against the grain in thin strips

⅓ cup light brown sugar

Instructions

Add beef to crockpot. In the base of a crockpot, add 1 1/2 pounds sliced beef.
Make sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup broth, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon sesame oil and 1 Tablespoon minced garlic. Pour over beef. Cook on low 3-4 hours, or until meat is cooked through and tender.

Notes

Variations:

Add other veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, snap peas and carrots.
Use precooked rice or frozen/pre-chopped broccoli for convenience.
Serve with cauliflower rice for a low carb option.

Sauce: If there's any extra sauce left in the crockpot, I like to add a spoonful on top right before serving.
