What's for Dinner?

Last night I experimented yet again with a couple of new recipes I found on Pinterest.  Both were a big hit.  I am a huge crockpot fan and this first recipe did not disappoint.  In the words of someone we all know and love.."Best Dishes!"

Crockpot Beef & Broccoli

1 lb. boneless beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
2 cups beef broth
1 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 bag frozen broccoli florets
4 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons sauce from the crock pot after being cooked
(Serves 4-5)

Place beef in a crock pot.  In a small bowl, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and garlic.  Pour over the beef.  Cook on low 6-8 hours.  In a cup stir cornstarch and sauce from the crock pot until blended.  Add to the crock pot and stir well.  Add the broccoli florets to the crock pot and continue cooking for 30 minutes to 1 hour on high (the sauce must boil for it to thicken).  Serve over hot rice.
