Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ pound boneless beef chuck roast

  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ cup orange juice

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)

  • 3 cup broccoli florets

  • 2 tablespoon cold water

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon orange marmalade or 1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel

  • cup dry roasted cashews, coarsely chopped

  • 3 cup hot cooked cellophane noodles or black rice

  • Snipped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

  1. Trim fat from meat. Cut meat into 2-inch pieces. Place meat in a 4-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of the orange juice, the ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Pour mixture over meat in cooker.

  2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. If desired, stir in sesame oil. If using low-heat setting, turn to high-heat setting. Add broccoli to cooker. Cover and cook about 15 minutes more or just until broccoli is tender.

  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat to a medium bowl. Using two forks, break meat into smaller pieces. Add broccoli to meat in bowl; cover and keep warm.

  4. For sauce, strain cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan. In a small bowl stir the water into cornstarch; stir into strained cooking liquid. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in orange marmalade and the remaining 1 tablespoon orange juice.

  5. Add cashews and about half of the sauce to meat mixture; toss gently to coat. Serve over hot cooked noodles. If desired, sprinkle with cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce.
