Simple Sesame Beef

You know the meal that you smell all day long and can't wait to try? Then when it's dinner you get really excited and hope (and pray) that it's as good as it smells? Then once on the plate you find it hard NOT to gorge yourself on the tasteful dish?

YES. YES. YES. This is that meal.

If you read this post BEFORE I hacked it, you will know when I tried it at first, something was missing. So I added what I thought was missing and BAM! Move over Emeril. Ha!

Even the children loved it! And it made... yes MADE me stuff my self to uncomfortable!

What you will need:

3 gallon sized freezer bags (one labeled Simple Sesame Beef - Cook on low 7-8 hours - Or have your 10yo do it --LOL)

2 snack sized bags (or sandwich bags will do)

1 pounds beef roast, sliced
1 onion sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced

1/4 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)

1 cup homemade beef stock

1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Put 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour/starch into one snack bag.

Put 1/2 cup of sesame seeds (toasted preferred) into the other snack bag.

You will also need fresh or frozen broccoli. I purchased the frozen broccoli in a large package and just separated some out for the meal into a gallon sized bag. You can use already packaged frozen and just rubber-band to the meal bags.

Place beef roast strips, onions, garlic, coconut aminos, beef stock, ginger, salt and pepper into unlabeled gallon sized bag. Seal and mix well.

Place unlabeled bag into labeled one and stick the arrowroot, sesame seeds, and if you can fit the broccoli, shove it in. I couldn't because we have a five person family who loves broccoli beef and I doubled the recipe for this pic. ;)

Cooking Day:

Defrost in frig. 

Pour contents of meat bag into slow cooker and cook on low 7-8 hours.

An hour or more before you want to eat,  ladle some broth into a bowl and mix in arrowroot then add back to the crockpot. This is important because it thickens the broth and makes it gravy (as the kid said). 

Mix well then add in the defrosted broccoli just over the top of the meat. MUST BE DEFROSTED.

Alternately, you can steam the broccoli separately and still get the same results. to crock and cook uncovered until broccoli is done. 

When broccoli is done, mix well and top with sesame seeds. Optional Sriracha as a topping! 

Seriously... the first time I made this without my hack it was bland and just "okay". But this time... phenomenal. Really. Really good.
