Crockpot Beef and Broccoli {#SundaySupper}

My husband is a big fan of Asian food. I enjoy it, too, when it's good, but I can't take the taste (or aftertaste) of cheap takeout Chinese. I'm always on the lookout for some good recipes to try at home that will make everyone at my table happy, so when I saw this one for Crockpot Beef and Broccoli, I wanted to give it a try. The original version was good, but a little on the sweet side, so I've tweaked it just a bit. Hope you'll give it a try and that you like it as much as we did! 

Crockpot Beef and Broccoli

- 2 lbs. stew beef or stir fry strips

- 1 cup beef broth

- 1/2 cup soy sauce

-1/4 cup brown sugar

- 2 TBSP sesame oil

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

-1 tsp ground ginger

- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

- 4 TBSP corn starch

- 4 TBSP water

-1 bag (12 oz) frozen broccoli florets

In the crockpot, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, sugar, oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Add in the beef.  Cover and cook on low for about 5 hours. Stir together the corn starch and water to make a slurry and add it to the crockpot. Toss in the frozen broccoli. Re-cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles.
