Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli

INGREDIENTS:

1-2 lb. boneless, beef chuck roast

1 can beef broth

1cup low sodium soy sauce

2/3 cup dark brown sugar

1 1/2 tbsp. sesame oil

6-8 garlic cloves, minced

4 tbsp. cornstarch

8 tbsp. sauce (from the crockpot after dish is cooked)

Veggies - fresh or frozen, your choice

White rice, cooked

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In the insert of the crockpot, whisk together beef consume, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic.
2. Gently place your beef in the liquid and turn to coat.
3. Turn crockpot on high and cook for 4 hours.  After 4 hours, take meat out, slice in strips, return to pot and continue cooking for 30 minutes.
4. With 30 minutes left in the cooking time, start cooking rice in rice cooker.  
5. After rice is on, start cooking veggies.  Saute in a pan with a little oil, steam, or boil until done to your liking (we like ours warm but crunchy).
6. When meat is done (30 additional minutes), remove meat, and add slurry (cornstarch and sauce) to sauce, keeping crockpot on high.  Whisk until bubbling (should only take a few minutes).
7. Once veggies are done and sauce is thick, toss veggies, and meat back into crockpot and combine.
8. Once rice is done, spoon onto plate.  Place meat/veggie mixture on top of rice.
