The Ingredients
serves 4
1 pound thin beef (I used rib eye)
1/4 cup soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari wheat-free are gluten
free)
2 tablespoons white wine (can use apple juice or white grape juice instead)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (can use white vinegar)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (10-ounce) bag thawed broccoli florets (to add later)
OR: 3 cups fresh broccoli florets, slightly blanched (rinse off, then microwave for 90 seconds on high)
The Directions.
Use a 4-quart slow cooker.Add the liquid sauce ingredients to the crockpot
Chop up your garlic, add to mixture
Stir in the spices.
Then, slice meat into thin strips (unless you are using fajita meat, then you're good to go)
Toss meat with sauce ingredients in the crockpot -- using a large spoon or your
hands ( I used my hands. it wasn't gross! ) to full coat the meat in the liquid and spice mixture.
Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, depending on the cut of meat. Thicker pieces will take longer to tenderize.
An hour or so before serving, add the broccoli to the pot. Do Not Stir, just pour it in.
Cover and cook for another 30 minutes to an hour on high.
Now you can stir gingerly to coat broccoli
serve over steamed rice.
The Verdict.
So very good!
It really was. Adam said that he hasn't ever had any broccoli beef that has tasted better.
One kid ate two helpings and the other ate one piece of
broccoli and ate 3 bowls of rice.
(the third one wasn't home and we ate it all so she didn't get any leftovers....)
