Add Day of Cooking:
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
- 10 oz Frozen Broccoli Florets
Instructions
How to Properly Cut Meat:
- Cut flank steak into 2-inch-wide strips with the grain, then slice across the grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices
To Freeze and Cook Later:
- Label your freezer bag with the recipe's name, cooking instructions, and date.
- Add all ingredients to the freezer bag EXCEPT the bag of Broccoli Florets; freeze separately.
- Carefully remove as much air as possible, seal, and freeze for up to three months.
Slow Cooker:
- Empty the thawed contents of the bag into a slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the internal temperature reaches 165F
Pressure Cooker:
- Empty the frozen contents of the bag into a pressure cooker, and add 1/4 cup liquid.
- Turn the pressure to high and cook for 25 minutes, with natural pressure release.
Additional Instructions:
- To thicken, mix 2 tbsp Cornstarch with 2 Tbsp. water together, and stir into sauce.
- Add 10 oz Frozen Broccoli Florets and stir.
- Cook an additional 20-30 minutes in the slow cooker or 2-3 minutes in the instant pot on saute setting until broccoli is cooked through. If the broccoli bag is steamable, you can steam it first in the microwave and then add it to the pot, mix, and serve without additional cooking.
- Serve over your choice of rice or quinoa.
