Ginger Beef Roast Crock Pot

I have no idea where this recipe came from, since i've been using it for years. my picky husband won't eat it, so i only make it a few times a year when i cook at my parents. browning the meat adds flavor and helps seal in the juices, but if you're short on time, you can skip the browning step. i serve this dish with steamed sugar snap peas and rice. (stir fry sauce can usually be found in the international:asian section of the grocery store.)
