Beef and Broccoli in Crock Pot

I have made beef and broccoli before and it always ended up very good. But I HAD to do all of the cooking. It was definitely more work but, again, it was still delicious.  But there is something about slow cooking something all day in a crock pot.  You guys know by now that I love cooking with my crock pot. I might work from home but do not like interruptions and cooking is for sure one of them.

With the crock pot method, the beef literally just melted in my mouth because it was sooooo tender.   And the sauce… which slow cooked all day was just amazing.  This is one of the recipes that I post that I hope everyone tries.  It is a must. Just thinking about how good this tasted is making me drool.  I feel like I never have to go eat out because I keep finding restaurant quality recipes to make at home.  This was a winner.

Ingredients
  • 1.5-2 lbs. of boneless, beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 cup of beef broth
  • ½ cup of low sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup of brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. of sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2-4 tbsp of cornstarch
  • 1 large head of fresh broccoli cut into florets (or a bag of cut florets will do)
  • White or brown rice, cooked - rice noodles could also work. I use rice noodles a lot with dish like this one.
Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic.
  2. Lay the beef strips in the crock pot and pour the sauce over, tossing the strips to coat.
  3. Turn the crock pot on low and cook for about 4 hours. You don’t want to cook the beef too long or it will start to shred.
  4. When it is just about done, take 4 Tbsp of the sauce and whisk it in a small bowl with the cornstarch. Slowly stir this into the crock pot.
  5. Add the broccoli in at this point so that it could get heated through.
  6. You want to let it cook an additional 30 minutes so that the sauce can thicken and the broccoli can cook. You don’t want to add the broccoli until the very end or it will be mushy.
  7. Serve over white rice and enjoy!!
