Social Media's very popular Slow Cooker Beef & Brocolli

Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli was plastered all over my Facebook page

because all my friends, their friends, saved it to their timeline 

what can I say I joined them

 

Definitely a flip of a recipe

it was easy, no recipe fixing needed

Oh and most importantly

DELICIOUS!

Troy confirmed there is no broccoli in the fridge

Beef  & Broccoli became beef, green beans and carrots

 

 the star of the recipe chopped beef

 

tossed with cornstarch

when beef is on sale I buy a few pounds, chop it

toss with cornstarch and freeze in 1lb bags

pop right into the crockpot frozen

 

mmmm sugar, soy sauce the combo is always yum

 

 

add garlic, hoisin sauce, stock, sesame oil, garlic 

slow cook till the beef melts in your mouth

 

 

the last 30 minutes of cooking

add fresh broccoli

or if you prefer green beans, carrots worked out awesome

 

 

cook until the veggies are the crunch you like them

 

 

ENJOY!!!! 

 

 

Crockpot Beef & Broccoli

Ingredients

1 pound boneless beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
1 cup beef stock

1/4 cup soy sauce La Choy is gluten free

1/4 cup hoisin sauce  Joyce Chen has a gluten free hoisin,  you can use all soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar or honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch

4 cups Fresh broccoli florets or frozen, I like lots of veggies
Hot cooked rice

Directions
Place beef in a crock pot toss with cornstarch.
Add brown sugar, beef stock, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oil, and garlic, stir
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, high 3-4 the beef should be melt in the mouth tender if it is tough give it longer to cook.

 In the last 30 minutes:
Add fresh broccoli to the crock pot. Stir to combine.

If using frozen veggies thaw then add to crockpot.
Cover and heat through on high 

Serve over hot cooked rice.

 

 I would add 1 tsp red pepper flakes because we like sweet and hot together

this would be great with 1 tsp of fresh ginger added

add water chestnuts, scallions, bean sprouts for variety

the sauce can be made thicker by mixing 2 tbs cornstarch with 2 tbs water then adding to the crock when you add the veggies.

 

Great with a pitcher of my Mai Tai's
