1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp Sesame Oil
1 tbsp granulated garlic
1 cup beef broth
3 cups broccoli florets
2 tbsp corn starch
3 tbsp Water

May add more or less soy sauce depending on your preference for saltiness but may need to also use a small bit less or more of corn starch to accommodate changing the amount of soy sauce.
Can substitute half brown sugar for splenda to save calories and carbs if you choose...wouldn't recommend substituting it all as I have not tried to sub it all yet.

Add beef, broth, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic. Cook on high 2. 2.5 hours or low 4.5 hours.
