I made this on the stove rather than in the crock pot. In the sesame oil I cooked the beef, onion, added minced garlic, and salted & peppered to taste. Once the beef was done I added the broth and teriyaki sauce, but I doubled these amounts (to make more sauce). I added fresh broccoli at the end and covered the skillet and cooked it until crisp tender. I then added the cornstarch and water to thicken it and a few splashes of soy sauce for more flavor. My family liked it and I will make it again. Next time I will put more fresh veggies in. Yummy!
