Asian Beef with Broccoli (slow cooker)

This is a recipe that I found while I was teaching classes at the Macey's Little Theatre, I have had it on file for a long time and decided to try it. I can't give credit to the magazine I got it from but it is a really easy and tastes really good. (We will add mushrooms in the last 15 mins, as well in the future.)


1 1/2 pounds chuck steak, about 1 1/2 inches thick, sliced into thin strips
1 10.5 oz. condensed beef consomme, undiluted
1/2 c. oyster sauce
2 Tbs. cornstarch
1 bag (16 oz) frresh or frozen broccoli florets
6-8 fresh mushrooms, sliced
Hot cooked rice
Sesame seeds

Place beef in cloe cooker. Pour consomme and oyster sauce over beef. Cover, cook on high for 3 hours. Combine cornstarch and 2 Tbsp. cooking liquid in small bowl. Add to slow cooker, stir well to combine. Cover, cook on high for 15 mins. longer or until thickened. Poke holes in broccoli bag with fork.
