Steps

Cut the beef into two-inch pieces and heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown the beef for six minutes, turning the pieces, then transfer it to a five- or six-quart slow cooker.
Stir the water, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for two hours and 45 minutes, until the beef reaches 145 F and is tender.
Whisk the cornstarch with two tablespoons water, stir it into the cooker, and add the broccoli.
Cover and cook for 20 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and the sauce thickens.
