⅔ cup low sodium soy sauce
⅓ cup brown sugar

Instructions
Prepare the slow cooker: Grease the inside of the slow cooker. Add steak, beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and chili flakes.
Cook: Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours until beef is tender.
Thicken the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until dissolved. Add to the slow cooker, stir well, cover, and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Steam the broccoli: Just before serving, place broccoli in a microwave-safe container with ½ inch of water. Cover loosely and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain well.
