AMAZING! Super easy and super tasty. Never pay for take out again because this is better (and you know what is actually going into it) ... way better! It made a TON of sauce. But really, who doesn't love sauce. Next time though, I would probably half the sauce recipe (the recipe below is the whole sauce recipe).

Ingredients
1 pound boneless beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
1 cup beef consumme
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sauce from the crock pot after being cooked
Fresh broccoli florets (as many as desired)
Hot cooked rice
Mushrooms (opt)

Directions
1. Place beef in a crock pot.
2. In a small bowl, combine consommé, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, and garlic. Pour over beef. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
3. In a cup, stir cornstarch and sauce form the crock pot until smooth. Add to crock pot. Stir well to combine.
4. Add broccoli to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
5. Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes on high (the sauce has to boil for it to thicken).
6. Serve over hot cooked rice.

*Opt - can of beef broth mixed with one envelope of beefy onion soup mix, delicious!! :)

*Consumme is similar to beef broth. You can use beef stock, beef broth, or take 2 beef bullion cubes and dissolve in 1 cup warm water. You will need to taste and adjust seasoning for saltiness.
