Yum yum yum! One of my favorite Chinese dishes is beef and broccoli. To make the recipe even easier, I dumped all the ingredients into the slow cooker while I went to work. Then I only had to use my little rice cooker when I got home to make some white rice to go with my meat and veggies. Easy and delicious!
Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli
Ingredients:
- 10oz frozen broccoli florets
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 beef bullion cubes
- 1 tbs oyster sauce
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbs honey
Directions:
Mix all ingredients except broccoli in slow cooker. Put on low for 8 hours. Place broccoli in the last 30 minutes and cook on high. Serve with white rice. ***To make a thicker sauce, when dish is 30 minutes shy of being done, reserve 2 tablespoons liquid from dish. Mix that liquid with 1 tbs cornstarch. Pour back into slow cooker and cook on high for last 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
