Recipe Thursday: beef and broccoli stir fry

This. Was. Yummy. I've never really officially made stir fry but when your guy asks for it, you figure it out. I have to give him credit for finding this recipe - he picked it! 


It didn't take long - although I did forget to get the onion... Oops - and we made it with brown rice. You could swap out tempeh, chicken, or even pork for the beef, I think, but we were in a steak mood! I got the steak at the butcher counter and asked the butcher to slice it for me. No extra charge and it made prep a WHOLE lot easier. I also got frozen broccoli florets to eliminate that prep step too! Oh - and on my mission to minimize the amount of soy I eat, we used Bragg's liquid aminos instead of soy sauce (he didn't mention any difference in taste so I'll consider that a safe swap!!). 

This would be a great recipe for date night out or avoiding the question marks and extra calories that normally come with ordering take out! Plus there was more than enough for the two of us and he seemed to enjoy the leftovers just as much as the original meal. Next time, I'll make a double batch so I have lunches prepped for the week too!! 


What else would YOU add to your stir fry?
