In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the beef and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1.5-2 hours to let the flavors blend.
For the last half hour, cook the broccoli and add it to the slow cooker.
Scoop the Korean beef over bowls of steamed white rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor.
