Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli *

1 1/2 pounds flank steak, thinly sliced and chopped into 2 inch pieces
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (adjust this up or down based on your spicy preference)
4 cups broccoli florets
2 Tbsp corn starch
4 Tbsp cold water
hot cooked Rice

Grease the inside of a crock pot.  Add steak, broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic and red pepper.  Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.  After cooking for 4 hours on low, in a separate small bowl, whisk corn starch and water until dissolved.  Add to crock pot and stir.  Add broccoli florets to crock pot.  Cover and cook 30-45 minutes or until broccoli is done to your desired crunchy preference.  Once the broccoli has been added, begin cooking your rice according to package directions.  Serve beef and broccoli over rice.
