Crock Pot Beef & Broccoli

Beef Consomme is a hearty, full bodied broth. If you look at the recipe it is very involved and time consuming. I decided to save my time and energy, and bought a can of it rather than making my own. (The only issue is that the sodium level is very high, more than 1600mg in one can.)

Ingredients
1 pound boneless beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips 
1 cup beef consumme 
1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sauce from the crock pot after being cooked
Fresh broccoli florets (as many as desired)
Hot cooked rice

Directions
1. Place beef in a crock pot. Make sure to clean knife, cutting board, and your hands before and after handling the beef! 
2. In a small bowl, combine consomme, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, and garlic. Pour over beef. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

3. (After the time has past) In a cup, stir cornstarch and most of the sauce form the crock pot until smooth. Add back to crock pot. Stir well to combine.
4. Add broccoli to the crock pot. Stir to combine. 

5. Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes on high (the sauce has to boil for it to thicken).
6. Serve over hot cooked rice.
