Best Ways to Serve

Here are the best ways to enjoy this beef and broccoli:

Served over or next to a bed of warm white rice (or Jasmine rice) is typically the way this cooked beef and broccoli meal is served. In addition to white rice, you can serve it with brown rice or cauliflower rice. It’s really all about personal preference.

In addition to the toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for toppings, you can also add a dash of red pepper flakes to give it a bit of heat. Some people also like to add extra soy sauce on top. We love to add sriracha sauce to our own serving.

To make this crockpot beef and broccoli even more hearty, you can add stir fry vegetables and water chestnuts.
