Brenda’s tips:
Serving size: 4 servings
If desired, peel and slice the stalk and add it to the broccoli florets
Tip: mostly frozen steak will slice more easily than fully defrosted steak
If using a tough cut of steak, like round steak, cook the steak in the crockpot on high for ~3 hours, then slice and add with the onions and garlic
