Instructions

1. In the morning, place the pre-sliced beef stir-fry strips in a 6-quart crockpot.
2. Add the beef bone broth, Kikkoman soy sauce, stevia brown-sugar substitute, Marukan rice vinegar, Shirakiku sesame oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Stir to coat the beef.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours, until the beef is tender.
4. At night, whisk the cornstarch and cold water together until smooth, then stir the slurry into the crockpot.
5. Add the frozen Birds Eye broccoli, cover, and cook on HIGH for 20 to 30 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and the sauce thickens.
6. Cook the Birds Eye riced cauliflower and one Kroger frozen jasmine-rice pouch according to their package directions.
7. Combine the cooked jasmine rice and cauliflower rice to make the rice medley.
8. Divide the beef-and-broccoli mixture among six bowls and serve each with approximately 3/4 cup rice medley.

40/400 Notes

• Pre-sliced beef keeps morning preparation under five minutes.
• Do not add the broccoli in the morning because it will become too soft during an all-day cook.
• The Kroger rice package contains two pouches; use one 10-ounce pouch for this recipe.
• Measure the sesame oil because one tablespoon contributes 120 to 130 calories to the batch.
• Nutrition is approximate and varies by the leanness of the beef and product labels.
