Beef and Broccoli (better than takeout!)

My beloved made this for dinner tonight (yes, he loves to cook as much as I do) and we both loved it! This is definitely a meal that will be included in our regular rotation, especially on busy days when the slow cooker is my best friend :). We served ours over basmati rice and it was absolutely delicious. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 lb. sirloin steak or London broil, sliced thinly
1 c. beef broth
1/2 c. soy sauce (you can use low-sodium if you prefer)
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 Tbsp. cornstarch
4 Tbsp. water
12-oz. broccoli florets, fresh or frozen

Whisk together broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic cloves in the insert of your slow cooker.
Place sliced beef into liquid and toss gently to coat. Cover and cook on low heat for at least 5 hours (he actually cooked ours for about 8 hours and it was SO tender).
When done, combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
Pour into meat mixture and mix well. Add broccoli and mix well.
Cover and cook for 30 minutes more, until broccoli is tender and sauce has thickened.
Serve over white rice.
