Homemade Beef & Broccoli

2lbs Sirloin or chuck roast, sliced

12oz raw broccoli

1 cup beef broth

1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tbsp sesame oil

2 tsp minced garlic

4tbsp cornstarch

4tbsp water

In a crock pot, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and garlic.

Place sliced beef into liquid and toss to coat. Cover and cook on low about 5 hours. *Can be cooked on high for 2 hours.

When meat is cooked, wish cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Pour into crockpot and mix well. Add to broccoli and optional veggies. Stir to combine. Cook and additional 30 minutes or until vegetables are cooked.

For this recipe, I love to add 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (if using sesame oil). I also add sliced shivaji mushrooms and 1 cup of shredded carrots. I’ve substituted the sesame oil for walnut oil. It works just as well. Instead of adding sesame seeds, add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts (adding a lovely crunch).
