Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli Recipe 02/06/12

I found a fantastic crock pot recipe over at Laa Loosh. Be sure to check out her other recipes, as well. The reason I love the idea of this recipe is because one, it’s made in a crock pot and two, it has a bit of heat. When I order Chinese, beef and broccoli is my first choice and I always order it with extra chili sauce. It’ll be nice to make it at home for a change…in a crock pot! Bonus! I hope you’ll give it a try.

Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli Recipe

1 pound boneless beef top round steak — trimmed of fat, cut into cubes
8oz sliced mushrooms
1 lb broccoli, cut into florets
1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
1 cup uncooked brown rice
2 cups fat free beef broth
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp Red Roasted Chili Paste (such as Thai Kitchen)
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

In 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker, combine oil, beef, mushrooms, onion, broth, garlic, chili paste, soy sauce, pepper, and ginger; mix well.

Cover; cook on low setting for 6-8 hours.

About 35 minutes before serving, cook rice in water as directed on package.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons water and cornstarch; blend well.

Add broccoli into beef mixture, then stir in the cornstarch.

Cover; cook on low setting for an additional 30 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Serve over rice.
