This Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli is one of those recipes I make when I’m craving takeout-style flavor but want something easy and homemade. Everything goes into the slow cooker, and after a few hours, the beef turns incredibly tender while soaking up a rich, savory sauce. It’s comforting, flavorful, and feels like a treat without needing much effort at all.
What I love most about this recipe is how simple it is. There’s no standing over the stove or juggling multiple pans. The slow cooker does all the work, letting the flavors slowly come together while I get on with my day. By dinnertime, the sauce is thick and glossy, and the beef is perfectly cooked.
I usually add the broccoli toward the end so it stays bright and tender. Served over rice or noodles, this beef and broccoli makes a satisfying, cozy dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or whenever I want something comforting and familiar.
