This broccoli beef recipe is an easy to make meal that can be cooked in one frypan in under 15 minutes!
I have been making this dish for years and love that you can add any vegetables you have on hand, and it still tastes amazing. My favourite is to add mushrooms and make it beef, broccoli and mushroom over rice. Bok choy works well with broccoli beef too!
