Ingredients
1 ½ pounds flank steak, thinly sliced and chopped into 2-inch pieces

¼ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Minutes before serving, uncover the slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until dissolved. Add this mixture to the slow cooker and stir. Cover and allow to cook for another 20-25 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Just before serving, place the broccoli in a large container, fill with ½ inch of water, and place the lid on in an offset manner to vent. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain, then stir the broccoli into the slow cooker.
