   I just pinned this recipe & can’t wait to try it !! I just do not see why people are so rude with their comments !!!!! If you make a recipe that YOU chose to try, and are not happy with the taste, you can say that, but there really no need for the dramatics.! Everyone’s tastes are different, and some people may absolutely love it.

     I am going to try this recipe tomorrow. After reading the comments, I plan to add celery and cabbage to bulk up the veggies a little since it sounds like there is extra sauce. Two questions – I have sirloin steak, is that ok rather than round steak or will it be too tough? Also, do you know the points without the rice?

   I don’t know what people are complaining about. It is fantastic. The meat was very flavorful and had a nice little kick. I didn’t use chillie paste, but used a chillie sauce and we all loved it. Nice job.

   It looked good. But when I put all the ingredients in it smelled so bad I just dumped it out and rinsed off the meat and made it my own way. SOrry I so wanted to like it but just couldn’t

4. AmberH11 years ago

   I thought it was great. I did mine on the stove top so the meat was not over cook and the veggies were tender. I added celery and cabbage to give it the extra crunch. No where near the salt content that you would find in bought chinese food.

   I want to make this for dinner tonight, but am only unclear about one thing. I put the meat in frozen, right? I usually do with crockpot recipes, but it doesn’t specify. Thanks :)

6. Tinabell062312 years ago

   I made this tonight. Due to many of the comments I only slow cooked it for 4 hours, and after 2 hrs I dumped some the broth out. When I added the brocolli and cornstarch I dumped a little more broth out. I also added more pepper. To me this was delish and when I put it into my spark people I only ate about 385 calories so I was completely happy. Thanks I will definitely make this again next time I am going to try with chicken or shrimp!

   • Klair52312 years ago

     When you cooked it for 4 did you cook on high or low?

7. AmandaB12 years ago

   I just made it too and I thought it was really good!! We ate it all up!

8. MeganTiedemann12 years ago

   Just made this, and it was delish..not sure what everyone is fussing about!!

9. TheHalls0812 years ago

   I have this in the crockpot and it smells fantastic, I didn’t even think it through and put the broccoli in with everything else. Now that I reread the broccoli goes in later, I’m hoping it’s still ok.

10. teaclown12 years ago

    Disappointing if you’re looking for Chinese beef and broccoli. Turns out fine if you’re looking for stew served over rice, but it’s a waste of a lot of good ingredients that get overwhelmed to get there. Good meat and Chinese dishes like this need high heat and short cooking times. It’s just not a crockpot meal.

11. Emily12 years ago

    I also really enjoyed it. I added saraha sauce to mine and it added a great flare to it!

    For future reference you need to list ingredients in order they are used.

13. Alda12 years ago

    I’m cooking it right now,and the taste is awsome! I look so much forward to eat dinner, and the kids can’t leave the pot alone, they keep stealing the meat out of it :D
    Thanks alot for this recipie, and I will for sure make it again….and again!

14. Sarah12 years ago

    Man, the reviews for this recipe were HARSH! I cooked it and we loved it. I’m not quite sure where the others went wrong….I used onion powder instead of real onions….and I didn’t use mushrooms. Served it over white rice and added a little more soy sauce on top since I’m addicted to salt. I had never thought of cooking beef and broccoli, especially in the crockpot. Thanks!

15. Smrogers117512 years ago

    THIS IS DISGUSTING. I wish I had read the reviews first. Shame on me. I agree with the person below. What a huge waste of decent ingredients. It sounded good and I love all the ingrediants but when mixed and cooked together in the crockpot…YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16. guest12 years ago

    Huge disappointment. This was bland and had noAsianflavor at all. What a waste of decent ingredients.

    • Kathymarie1912 years ago

      Add hoisin sauce and mushroom oyster sauce and it will taste much better! :-)

17. Guest12 years ago

    I tried this recipe and was completely disappointed :( None of us liked it :( No Asian flavors noted…not recommended.

18. ladymienna12 years ago

    I’m going to try this recipe this next week. I posted about it on my blog. http://interlacingloops.blogspot.com/2012/01/menu-monday_21.html

19. Amydrunning12 years ago

    I thought this was awesome! My kids devoured it and I was quite pleased with the low caloric value.

20. Kayla12 years ago

    I added celery and replaced the white rice with brown to increase veggie and grain value. I agree with Chelsea, it has more of an American stew flavorthan Asian.

    • Kellykba12 years ago

      Kayla, it lists brown rice in the recipe. Doesn’t it?

21. Chelsea12 years ago

    Agree with Rebecca, totally disappointed in this meal and I even cut down on the cook time… definitely missing the asian flavor.

    • LaaLooshPost Author12 years ago

      Yeah, this is an old recipe…I’m gonna re-work it soon. Thanks for the input!

22. Rebecca12 years ago

    I made this recipe today (followed the directions perfectly) and was completely disapointed! It looks amazing in the picture, but I’m pretty sure the directions are off in some way… 8-10 hours??? Mine was way over-cooked and practically burnt in 5 hours –even cooked it on low! The meatturned outdry & completely unflavorful.

    My brother and fiance’were here for dinner tonight, we all took one bite, threwout our plates of food and ordered apizza instead! Yuck.

    If you want to try to attemptthisrecipe, I’d suggest cuttingdown the cook time to maybe 3 hours onlow.

    • Becky Breshers Wilson11 years ago

      you all need to realize that crockpots (and don’t even think about arguing with this statement, I have two of them and have to cook my beans in one as they do not turn out right in the other) same as stoves cook differently, shame on the cook that doesn’t pay a little attention to her cooking even in a crockpot first time using a recipe. also you who are bashing the flavor need to realize their is a point system on this recipe….umh lowfat, if you don’t like the flavor or lack their of add all the fat content to it for your taste buds but don’t gripe because some of us want to eat a lower calorie meal. I am going to try this recipe tonight and hopefully with a little watchfulness this first time out it will turn out to be a really nice meal. And I am going to have a side of cabbage with mine. sounds delish. and don’t get me wrong people saying they didn’t like it or that it was overcooked is constructive but you don’t have to be rude if you didn’t like the recipe post your findings politely and move on. Rebecca, sorry it’s not all in your post that set me off, yours just happened to be the one I finally landed on and had to voice myself.

    I have never used crock pot, but I have one and wanting to give it a try. Searched for recipes (under pictures) and found this one. I love chinese beef broccoli, so this definately caught my eye. I am going to try this tomorrow.

    I do not do weightwatchers but I use fooddiary and I was wondering if you have additional nutrition info (transfat-if any, vitamins, caltcium?)

    Thanks

24. Deborah14 years ago

    I've made this 3 times so far. It is one of my favorites. I take it for lunch and it smells so good warming up. Folks at work are drooling over my great dishes.

    Thank You

    Is the rice included in the point total? If so how much of one serving size is rice?

    • LaaLoosh14 years ago

      Yes, rice is included in the point count. The total serving size is 1 1/4 cup, and about half of that would be the rice.

26. Carolyn15 years ago

    I made this one last week and it just didn't work out. I thought it would have an asian flavor and it didn't at all. I followed the recipe to a T, but the beef fell apart like it was tender, but it was dry inside. Definitely not my fave.

27. LaaLoosh16 years ago

    Hi Lily, when I made this dish, I used a bottled teriyaki glaze by Kikkoman. It was delish and surprisingly low calorie. You should be able to find that at any grocery store.

28. Lily16 years ago

    I tryed this recipe last night and it turned out o.k. I was not able to find the Teriyaki baste and glaze. Can someone tell me where I can find this?

    Thanks,

    • KDC13 years ago

      You can find it at most Wal-Marts in the Oriental Food Section about 3 rows up from chow mein noodles

29. Sharone Z(cough ahe16 years ago

    Wendy – YOU ROCK!! These are such awesome recipes!! I'm trying this one tonight – I hope it'll be ok (I'm cooking it on High for 5 hours – since you know, I'm a procrastinating Israeli and I forgot to do it earlier). :-p

    Here's another good crockpot recipe, it's for Beans & Pork Steak, that's only 6 points

    • dmarley12 years ago

      Yes, beef tips and broccoli can be an Asian dish, BUT this is not that. It is a true comfort food that many people grew up eating long before Asian take out was even around. Thanks for posting the recipe!
