Beef with Broccoli--yum! One of my favorite meals is this basic stir-fry recipe. I have more involved stir-fry recipes with more ingredients, but honestly, this is the one I make the most. Why? Because I usually have all of these ingredients in my pantry and/or refrigerator. Also, this is a great recipe to break up the monotony of mac & cheese, spaghetti, and tacos which seem to be in constant rotation on our dinner table.
The steak needs to be sliced thinly. Easiest way to do this? Partially freeze the steak for about 45 minutes before slicing. We don’t want it frozen solid, just firmed up enough to make slicing easier. Plus, it will thaw completely during the marinading time.
Red peppers make a great presentation in this dish. However, yellow or orange taste great in it, too. I use whatever I happen to have, today it was red and yellow peppers. 
This is a simple and delicious dish! Enjoy!
