Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Pounds Vegan Beef Strips Use your favorite plant-based beef alternative, thinly sliced, I use MayWah Beef Slices
  • 1 Can vegetable consommé for that deep, savory flavor
  • ½ Cup vegan oyster sauce who says you can’t enjoy the umami richness in a vegan way
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch to give our sauce that lovely, glossy finish
  • 16 Ounzes frozen broccoli florets or go fresh with 1 head of broccoli – just the florets
  • 1 Tbsp Sesame A sprinkle of sesame seeds for that final, toasty touch

Instructions

  • Crock Pot Magic: Place the vegan beef strips in your trusty crock pot or slow cooker.
  • Layer the Flavors: Gently pour the vegetable consommé and vegan oyster sauce over the beef. Let these flavors mingle and get to know each other.
  • Low and Slow: Cover and set your crock pot to low heat. Let it do its thing for about 6 hours. If you’re short on time, a high setting for 3 hours works wonders too.
  • Cornstarch Tango: After the cooking time, mix cornstarch with a small amount of water until smooth. This is our thickening wizard! Stir it into the beef and watch the sauce transform.
  • Broccoli’s Grand Entrance: Add the broccoli florets to the mix. They’re the green stars of this show.
  • Final Countdown: Continue cooking on high for another 15 minutes. This is when everything comes together in perfect harmony.

Notes

• Vegan Twist: The traditional beef is replaced with a plant-based alternative, making this dish a celebration of vegan flavors and textures.
• Sauce Secrets: Vegan oyster sauce maintains the authenticity of the dish while keeping it plant-based.
• Broccoli Watch: Remember, overcooked broccoli loses its nutrient charm. Keep an eye out to ensure it stays vibrant and crunchy.
• Serving Suggestions: This dish is perfect over a bed of steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal.
This Vegan Beef with Broccoli is more than just a recipe; it’s a testament to how plant-based alternatives can beautifully recreate classic dishes. It’s a blend of traditional Asian flavors with the modern twist of veganism, making it a dish that’s both comforting and exciting.
So, gather around the table, my friends, and let’s relish in the joy of mindful, compassionate eating!
