Healthified Crock Pot Beef & Broccoli

Beef and broccoli is one of those things that is always a crowd pleaser. It’s certainly one of my favorite asian dishes!

That being said, it’s likely that a serving of it at your favorite local restaurant will cost you a good 600+ calories, a lot of sugar, and even more sodium. Yikes!

It’s take-out fake-out time.

I’ve lightened this classic dish up by reducing a lot of the sugar and soy sauce that most original recipes call for. So much sugar and sodium is just unneeded, in my opinion.

By the way, have you ever tried ‘Yum Yum Sauce’? It’s also called ‘Japanese White Sauce’ at a lot of those popular hibachi steak houses.

I’ll admit, when I started working on a lighter version of Yum Yum sauce, I wasn’t too impressed. But, after three attempts and a decent outcome, I stuck the final version into the fridge and called it a day.

I pulled the Yum Yum Sauce out a few hours later to serve on the side with this dish and BAM. There it was. The taste had completely changed after the flavors melded there for a few hours together.

I topped mine with some Sriracha and was in heaven.

Beef ‘n Broccoli

In 1.5 weeks I will be on my way to Seattle, WA for a vacation in Seattle, Victoria, and Vancouver for our one year anniversary trip. Please give me tips on must-sees & dos while we are there! I am so excited. I have only been to Vancouver once and loved it. The only thing between now and then is my pediatrics rotation. Tomorrow is my final presentation, but I needed a break from practicing… Lately I have been reaching for quick dinner recipes, since I have been getting home after a long day and feeling pretty tired. Here is one that is quick and easy: beef and broccoli. The ginger adds a really nice flavor to this dish. If you like Asian food, you will love this recipe! I prefer to use reduced sodium soy sauce, or it tastes too salty for me. This recipe makes enough for two, so double if you want to make more.

Am I on vacation yet? :/
