I adore - adore! - this recipe for slow cooker beef with broccoli for many reasons (not the least of which is that it is a scrumptious conglomeration of cheery broccoli and tender steak in a silky sauce)...but here are two of the top reasons. First of all, it lets me enjoy one of my favorite take-out treats without any of the suspicious extra ingredients I always wonder about when I eat that take-out version. Nope, only fresh ingredients in this recipe, all pronounceable and not that many of them! And second, it cooks up in the slow cooker, so on those days when I have a feeling that I am going to walk in with a burning desire to order dinner in, I pop this in the slow cooker instead and voila! All the deliciousness in a pretty healthy version, and courtesy of my favorite kitchen appliance. Ready to toss that take-out menu? Let's make it!
