BEEF AND BROCCOLI II

 

6 Medium Carrots (cut into 1" pieces)
2 Medium Onions (cut into wedges)
1 1/2 Pounds Beef Round Steak (cut into 1/2" strips)
1 TBSP Minced Fresh Ginger
2 Large Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 Cup Water
2 TBSP Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
1 packet (.75-oz) Dry Beef Gravy Mix 

4 Cups Broccoli Florets

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

- In a 4 quart slow cooker place carrots, onions, meat, optional ginger, and garlic. In a small bowl combine water, soy sauce and beef gravy mix. Pour over meat and veggies.

- Cover and cook on low heat** setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.

**If using low heat setting, turn to high heat setting. Add the broccoli and mushrooms; stir to blend in. Cover and cook for another 15 minutes or until broccoli is crisp and tender and mushrooms are cooked through.

Note: I got the main idea for this recipe from Penny Smart several years ago.
