EASY BROCCOLI BEEF

 This recipe is from my husband's side of the family. I've made it several times over the years and just love how easy it is. Not only that, but I think it tastes just as good as restaurant versions!

Something I do to cut down on prep time is to use a roast for the beef. I buy a 3-lb roast and cut it all up into thin slices and divide the meat into 3 different meals. I wrap them in Press & Seal Freezer wrap, then in foil and freeze. I pull it out that morning for dinner that night and don't have to cut any meat!

Easy Broccoli Beef

1 lb beef, cut into thin slices
6 cups cut broccoli
Gravy:

• 2 ½ c. water
• 3 TBSP cornstarch
• 1/3 cup soy sauce

 Marinade:

• 2 TBSP cornstarch
• 2 TBSP soy sauce
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp ginger
• 2 cloves garlic

Mix marinade. Pour into a bowl with beef and let sit while preparing the other ingredients. {If you are able to let it sit for 30 minutes, it tastes so much better!}

Heat about a TBSP of oil in pan. Stir fry meat 1 minute. Add broccoli and cook 3-4 minutes. Add gravy mixture and slowly bring to a boil. Mixture will thicken as you cook it for another 4-5 minutes. Serve over hot rice and enjoy!
