Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

healthy beef and broccoli Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry
This is an easy and simple recipe and one of my favorite go-to recipes on busy nights. It can be made quickly, especially if you have a wok, and reminds me of the beef and broccoli I always used to order at Chinese restaurants (before I found out about all the stuff besides beef and broccoli that they put in it!). A kid-favorite at our house!
