Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef consommé, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic until well combined.
2. Cook the Beef: Lay the beef strips in the crockpot and pour the sauce over, ensuring the strips are well coated. Set the crockpot on low and cook for about 6 hours, keeping an eye on it around the 5-hour mark. You don’t want to overcook the beef, as it might start to shred.
3. Thicken the Sauce: About an hour before the beef is done, take 1/4 cup of the sauce from the crockpot and whisk it with the cornstarch in a small bowl. Slowly stir this mixture back into the crockpot.
4. Add Broccoli: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the frozen broccoli florets. Let them cook through until tender but still crisp. Adding the broccoli at the end ensures it doesn’t become mushy.
5. Serve: Serve this delicious Beef and Broccoli over cooked white or brown rice and enjoy!
