Take-Out Crockpot Beef & Broccoli
Helpful Cooking Tip: All crockpot temperatures differ a bit, yours may differ in temperature than mine (click HERE to find), I suggest cooking this for 4 hours on your first attempt. 6 hours will most likely make “shredded” beef instead of slices, so decrease cooking time by 2 hours if desired. We did it for 6 hours and loved it!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless grass fed beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup organic beef bone broth
- 1/2 cup coconut aminos or organic Tamari soy sauce
- 1/3 cup Natural Sweetener
- 1 TBS sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 TBS fresh ginger grated
- 1/2 tsp guar gum thickener, if you aren't using homemade bone broth
- 4 TBS sauce from the crockpot after dish is cooked
- Celtic sea salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen organic broccoli flowerettes
- 1 pkg Miracle Rice rinsed
Instructions
- In the insert of the slow cooker, whisk together beef consume, coconut aminos or organic Tamari sauce, natural sweetener, sesame oil, garlic and ginger.
- Gently place your slices of beef in the liquid and toss to coat.
- Turn crockpot on low and cook for 4 to 6 hours.
- When done, if you did not use homemade bone broth (which is very thick) in a small bowl, whisk together the guar gum and cooking liquid to create a sauce, pour into crockpot, stir to mix well.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to thicken. Toss in your broccoli florets and serve hot over "rice".
