Beef & Broccoli

Meat and vegetables are my favorites, and most evenings in my home revolve around combining them into delicious, hearty meals. I would recommend this beef and broccoli recipe for a filling meal.

Instructions:

2 lbs. Chuck Roast (cup into cubes)

1 cup Beef Broth

1/2 cup Soy Sauce

1/4 cup Brown Sugar

1 Tbsp. Sesame Oil

4 Garlic Cloves (minced or pressed)

1 Medium Onion (sliced)

1 head of broccoli (cleaned and cut into bite-sized florets)

Slurry:

2 Tbsp. Cornstarch

4 Tbsp. Cold Water

Instructions:

  • Add the chuck roast and sliced onions to a crockpot.
  • In a mixing bowl add beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic cloves and whisk together.
  • Pour the contents of the mixing bowl over the chuck roast and onions in the crockpot.
  • Cook covered in the crockpot on medium for 2 1/2 hours.
  • After 2 1/2 hours check for tenderness. If the meat has reached your desired doneness continue with instructions below. If not, cook for another hour or so.
  • Make a slurry by whisking together the cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  • Pour into the crockpot with the beef and onions. Stir in well to mix.
  • Add 1 head of broccoli cleaned and cut into bite-sized florets.
  • Cook covered for another 30 minutes in the crock pot.
  • Stir in the broccoli to mix.
  • Serve over cooked rice.
  • Enjoy!
