Beef and Broccoli (Slow Cooker)

Ingredients:
1 lb beef round, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 oz canned sliced mushrooms, drained (we don't like mushrooms, so we'll omit it and thereby lower the carb content, but I'm just reporting what the recipe says)
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1/2 c beef broth
1 tsp beef bouillon concentrate
1 tbsp Splenda (or 3 drops Sweetzfree)
1 tsp grated fresh ginger root
1 tbsp dry sherry
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp dark sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 c frozen broccoli florets
Guar or xanthan

-Combine the beef, mushrooms, onion, beef bouillon, Splenda, ginger, sherry, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil in your slow cooker. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. Cover, set to low, and cook for 8-10 hours.

-When time's up, add the broccoli to the slow cooker, re-cover, and let it cook another half hour. Thicken the juices with guar or xanthan.
