Crockpot Broccoli Beef

From Crockpot Broccoli Beef

My hubby loves broccoli beef, and since he started hanging out with me, he's been deprived. See, most Asian dishes are laden with nuts and sesame... big no, nos, in our house. Frog Prince has graciously given up nuts to hang out with me :) So, I thought I'd try to come up with a recipe that would allow him to enjoy one of his favorite dishes. I'm not sure how it compares to the "real thing", but, it's pretty tasty.

Crockpot Broccoli Beef - Snow White

1 lb. beef, chopped into cubes and trimmed of fat
1/2 C beef broth, low sodium
1/4 C soy sauce

8 oz. mushrooms, canned or fresh (if desired)
1 (16oz) bag of frozen broccoli, thawed
2 T water
1 T cornstarch
