Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
September is a great month! I’ve heard it’s the best time of the year because the kids are back in school… lol! Fine, so they’re back to school and here you are again juggling your time! Between homework, hockey games, ballet rehearsals 🩰, music lessons, etc., it doesn’t leave you much time to prepare a good meal.
You don’t need to have kids to be squeezed for a lack of time. Commuting can take a whole lot of time and when you get home 🏡, you just want something quick & easy to prepare. Store-bought meals, in my opinion, are very bad for you. Why feed your body something that can make you sick in the long run?
I realize not all of us have the luxury of “time” but there are ways to have a very decent, healthy 💚 meal if you organize your schedule properly. Cutting corners to save “time” is totally acceptable.
The recipe today is my Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry. This is a great one to have on hand for a few reasons; it’s healthy, it doesn’t take much time to prepare 👩🍳👨🍳 and it’s absolutely delicious! Here’s a quick tip to make this recipe even quicker after work. In the morning, you can prep your vegetables as well as marinating your beef ahead so when you’re ready to cook, this meal will be on your dinner table in no “time”. It’s that simple!
When I make this Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry, I use cornstarch. Using this in marinades helps to bind the liquid ingredients to the meat. It also prevents meats from overcooking or getting tough by lightly coating and protecting it from the intense heat. Furthermore, it helps thicken the sauce.
This Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry is an awesome one-pot dish to add to your folder 📒. It’s a flavorful recipe and your family will totally love it!
