slow cooker and a steamer

Is it possible that slow cooked meat and steamed vegetables are the best combo? I slow cooked a bison roast yesterday with a 1/2 jar of pepperocini peppers - mmm, good! Some steamed asaparagus with a little lemon and some onion rolls made a great meal. Today is braised short ribs in a barbeque sauce simmering all day, perhaps with steamed broccoli and some pan-friend potatoes. (but I don't know how to do it on a stick!)
