I love the idea of throwing some ingredients in the crockpot in the morning and dinner is ready to go when I want it. When Michael sent me a list of crockpot recipes I was eager to give them a try. Beef with Broccoli was the first recipe we decided to try. It turned out pretty well. It doesn't taste quite as good as the dish you get from your favorite Chinese restaurant, but it's really easy to make and quite tasty.
Ingredients
1 pound boneless beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
frozen broccoli florets
Directions
In the crockpot, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic. Gently place the slices of beef in the liquid and toss to coat.
Turn the crock pot on low and cook for 6 hours.
After the 6 hours, whisk together in a small bowl cornstarch and 4 tablespoons of cooking liquid to create a slurry. Pour into the crockpot and stir to mix well. Cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to thicken up the sauce. We also threw our broccoli florets in at this point.
Serve hot over white rice.
Enjoy!
made it and loved it. Uncle Steve
