Crockpot Beef and Broccoli

Sometimes we are hungry.  Really hungry.  The food cooking all day long in the crockpot... the delicious smells teasing you... by the time dinner is on the table you're too busy stuffing your face to take a picture of the results.

This is one of those recipes.

By the time I even thought to take a picture my bowl was empty.  And my husband's.  And the crockpot.

So you'll just have to use your imagination here until I make it again and take a picture to post here.

INGREDIENTS


1 lb boneless beef chuck roast (or sirloin steak), sliced into thin strips
1 cup beef consume (or beef broth or stock will do just fine)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 TBS sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 TBS cornstarch
Fresh broccoli florets (about 1/2 a large head)
Hot cooked rice

DIRECTIONS


Mix broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil and garlic in the crockpot and mix well. Add beef and stir well to combine.

Cook on low for 5-6 hours (depending on the amount of beef, size of your pot, etc.)

When time is up, remove 1/2 a cup of broth in a cup.  Add in cornstarch and mix until smooth.  Add to crockpot.  Stir well to combine and add in broccoli.

Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes on high.  The sauce will thicken and the broccoli will cook.

Serve over hot rice.

VERDICT

Delicious!  And easy!  We'll definitely do it again, so there should be pictures added eventually!
