Easy Take Out, Fake Out Beef and Broccoli

Hubby has taken over my Pinterest boards and is now asking to have a special board just for stuff we have tried and liked.    I already had one but I renamed it so that he could find it.  This recipe made the move from "Looks yummy" to "Tried and loved it".  This recipe came from Table for Two blog with a few tweaks and does taste like take out.  

Beef and Broccoli

Ingredients:

1 lb. boneless, London broil, sliced into thin strips
1 cup beef broth
½ cup low sodium soy sauce
⅓ cup dark brown sugar
1 tbsp. sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp. cornstarch
4 tbsp. sauce (from the crockpot after dish is cooked)
Frozen broccoli florets (as many as desired, I believe I used almost 2 cups)
White rice, cooked

Instructions:
In the insert of the crockpot, whisk together beef consume, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic. Gently place your slices of beef in the liquid and toss to coat. Turn crockpot  on low and cook for 6 hours.

When done, in a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cooking liquid to create a slurry, pour into crockpot, stir to mix well. Cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to thicken up the sauce.
Toss in your broccoli florets then serve hot over white rice.
