Easy Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli

As a busy mom, I’m always looking for quick and EASY dinner ideas that save money and time. My family enjoys the occasional Chinese restaurant take-out, but if you can replicate the same thing at home – thats even better! Check out this easy beef and broccoli recipe from Food.com

1 lb boneless beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
1 cup beef consomme
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 bunches fresh broccoli florets

Directions:

1. Place beef in a crock pot.

2. In a small bowl, combine consomme, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, and garlic. Pour over beef. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

3. In a cup, stir cornstarch and 2 tablespoons sauce from the crock pot until smooth. Add to crock pot. Stir well to combine.

4. Add broccoli to the crock pot. Stir to combine.

5. Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes on high (the sauce has to boil for it to thicken).

6. Serve over hot cooked rice.
