Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 lb boneless beef sirloin
1 c beef consomme
1/2 c soy sauce, low sodium
1/3 c brown sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
3 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 c broccoli florets
1 box white rice

Steps:

1. In the insert of the crock pot, whisk together beef consume, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic.
2. Gently place your slices of beef in the liquid and toss to coat.
3. Turn crock pot on low and cook for 6 hours.
4. When done, in a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cooking liquid to create a slurry, pour into crock pot, stir to mix well. Cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to thicken up the sauce.
5. Toss in your broccoli florets then serve hot over white rice.
6. *Note about cooking time: Your crockpot may differ in temperature than mine, I suggest cooking this for 4 hours on your first go-round of this dish. 6 hours in the crockpot seems to be giving a lot of people "shredded" beef instead of slices, so decrease cooking time by 2 hours and go from there. Mine turned out fine with 6 hours.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cut beef and broccoli florets.
For a more flavorful dish, marinate the beef in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also make this dish in a Dutch oven over low heat for 8-10 hours.
Serve the beef and broccoli over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This easy crock pot beef and broccoli recipe is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It's perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or a casual weekend lunch. With just a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will love.
