Recipe - Beef & Broccoli

This was actually pretty good. I wasn't excited about it when it was cooking, but it turned out pretty good. Like Chinese takeout... but a lot more healthy.

Broccoli Beef
(Crockpot365.blogspot.com)

-1 lb thin beef (like stew meat or freezer-burned rib eye like I had...)
--1/4 cup soy sauce
--2 T apple cider vinegar
--2 T beef stock
--1 T brown sugar
--2 tsp. sesame oil (I used vegetable oil since I didn't have sesame oil. It was still good)
--2 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
--1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
--1 bag frozen (or raw) broccoli florets (to add later)

Directions:
--add the liquid to the crockpot
--chop up your garlic, add to mixture
--stir in spices
--slice meat into thin strips
--toss meat in the liquid and spice mixture to coat thoroughly
--cook on low for 6-8 hours, depending on the cut of meat. Thicker pieces will take longer to tenderize.
-- add cooked frozen bag of broccoli at last minute to pot and stir… or an hour before serving, add entire bag of raw broccoli, cover and cook on high for rest of time
--stir gingerly to coat broccoli
--serve over steamed rice
