oil this is a quarter look this is a half a cup of low sodium soy sauce that's it right here in the green anywhere that i can you know like use anything that's low soy that's what i'm gonna do excuse me anything i can use that's like low sodium that's what i'm gonna substitute because listen we're gonna start washing our salt intake this right here that's a half a cup and then right here we got a quarter cup of oyster sauce that's what this is right here this listen oyster sauce soy sauce which is the low sodium and then right here this sesame seed oil this is what you guys need to have like in your cabinet especially following me because listen these three ingredients right here i'm gonna be using these quite often now this right here we got fresh ginger just two teaspoons of fresh ginger and then this right here this is beef broth and when uh this is three quarter cup beef broth obviously look it's beef and broccoli right hey so it's a no-brainer and that right here that's it usually i use like a pound and a quarter but this is like a pound and a half of uh chuck roast you know i mean already cut down listen i'm not gonna uh fake it i had my local uh butcher shop they did it right there at stator brothers so look these are the sizes that you want it's really up to you these are the sizes that i'm using you know you can cut them down how you want to and then of course we're going to be using them cast iron skillet right we're going to use that to brown the beef so let's go ahead and make this happen okay so i'm bringing my cast iron skillet up to heat right i'm using a medium high heat because what we want to do is we want to uh brown so i'm going to go ahead and just drop these in here now we'll just move this around and let's just go ahead and add just a little bit of olive oil now you guys can add any cooking oil that you like you know what i mean this is just so to help it brown quicker and to keep it from sticking you know so just to get it coated move it around make sure we got something on the bottom now make sure every piece is just out and flat then we go from there now look we're multitasking right so as our beef is browning what we're going to do is we let's just go ahead and remove the top so let me go ahead and get me a spatula and what we want to do is we want to put all of our ingredients in here i'm gonna go ahead and peel this and cut it get these uh you know get the garlic cloves ready but we're gonna put everything else inside here so i'll just go ahead and add my soy there we go this is why you want to have the right tool for the job you know it makes it just much much easier to just get all your ingredients out of your bowls brown sugar and now we're gonna go with our beef broth now now for the garlic let's just go ahead i'm gonna smash them you know peel them then we're going to drop these in there also all right we say the corn starch because we're going to put some water with this we're gonna add two tablespoons of water it's gonna be our thickening agent so we'll save that back now let's go ahead and get this onion together let's check on these let's check on this beef it's browning good we're not trying to cook it look that's what the crock pot gonna do we just want to put some of that color on there and i like this just flipped them over looking at all the sides and i say hey we'll just go ahead and cut these off now let me get this peeled let me get this cut now i'll just go ahead what we're going to do is we're going to cut this down like that we'll cut it in half we'll just start off like this we'll just call this like recorder this large onion right but i'm gonna go ahead and cut this in half also then we'll just go ahead and just put them in here like this now let me go ahead and move this over now even my you know that uh when you saw me put the brown sugar in there it is just you know dissolved but i like to still give it a stir you know what i mean listen this is gonna cook down you know these onions are gonna be nice and soft hey everything about it it's just gonna marinade together and it's gonna be right now let me go ahead and grab what i'm gonna do is i'm just gonna grab my my beef now look we didn't want a cookie we just wanted to brown it you know what i mean uh control your splash sorry about that you guys but look we'll just add this to it just like this we'll put this back now i'll just give it a little stir right now and what we're getting ready to do is set the timer i'm gonna put the hood on the uh the lid on we're gonna set a timer i'm gonna cook these kind of fast so i'm gonna do the four hour method but don't forget you guys can go four hours on low i mean on high or you can go eight hours on low either or okay so now we just turn the power on we're gonna go with a high cook right the high cook that equals what what i tell you guys look that's four hours right if i want to do low i would hit that button there and i would increase that you just double the time but we're gonna go there i'm gonna hit start and now we're cooking okay so look now we're getting ready to cut the broccoli i cut the broccoli like right before it's done right so what i do is i take the fresh broccoli and you can see i'm just cutting off one of the you know the stalks or the flukes you know right off of it i don't use that big main stump then you can cut them down you can cut them in half it's really up to you how big you want your broccoli to be you know you can cut some of these smaller pieces off and then cut that piece off too but that's actually a good piece but that's the size that i like right there okay you just see me cut these look this is perfect right here the size is really up to you i like them kind of like big all different types of sizes it just makes it look even that much better now my timer just went off on my crock pot right so look we're done with the four hours now what i'm gonna do is this is what we're gonna do we're gonna go ahead and take that cornstarch right we're gonna add two tablespoons of water let me do that i just put it in i'm gonna use my whisk and we're gonna just whisk this together you know get it all mixed up get it combined make sure we got all of those little cornstarch pockets you know done you know broke up and this is gonna be our thickening agent we'll just do it like that try not to make a mess like i'm doing all right so once we got this done right okay so look now what you want to do is you want to check it this is that you know we looking at it for the first time after you know the four hours right so listen i'll stir it up and then look at this right here check it take a look at that onion oh man this right here is gonna be awesome now look i take my wooden spoon and i just like checked you know for tenderness that right there is to my liking so now i go ahead and grab my cornstarch slurry remember this is our thickening agent right so look once you add that in there you want to mix it up once you gave it a good mix then we're going to go ahead and add our broccoli now when it comes to adding our broccoli look there's two ways you can do it you seeing me doing it this way putting it in here and i'm going to kind of give mine a semi stir because i like to get the flavor on top of that and i like mine to be a little bit on a semi soft side right but you can put your broccoli on top and just let the heat and steam cook it to your liking but remember the beef is already done okay look it's been 30 minutes let's go ahead and take this off look at that right there oh my goodness oh yeah i'm finna you know what i'm about to do y'all i'm about to go ahead and just give my get myself a little sample look at that right there super easy we

went ahead put some rice in my bowl look this is a lot of rice because this is a big bowl right so let's go ahead and get it some right now look at that right there ah yeah now i want to say this you guys when you put your broccoli in so after you put your thickening agent in right and you stirred it all up you can just put your broccoli on top and let the steam from the you know from your crock pot you know cook your rice but for me i mean cook your broccoli but for myself this is what i like to do i like to stir it up and cook it inside and i like my broccoli a little bit more on the like
