500 grams of beef strips
2 cups of broccoli florets
1 cup of quinoa
1/4 cup of soy sauce
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of ginger, grated
Cooking spray

Start by lining your slow cooker with a bit of cooking spray to make cleanup easier later.
Place the beef strips in the slow cooker first. Let them spread out for even cooking.
Next, layer the broccoli on top of the beef. Try to cover the beef as much as possible.
In a bowl, stir together the soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Pour this mix over the beef and broccoli, allowing all the flavors to meld.
Cover the slow cooker and set it on low. Let it cook and simmer for several hours, soaking in all that flavor.
About 30 minutes before the beef is ready, get the quinoa going. Rinse it and cook according to package directions. Fluff it when it’s done.
Once the beef is tender, take it off the heat. Serve it over a bed of quinoa and enjoy your delicious meal!
