Beef & Broccoli

Skip greasy takeout and whip up this fast and fresh version of beef and broccoli in 20 minutes or less. The beauty in this beef and broccoli dish is that I have made it using leftover roast, flank steak, sirloin, and top round steak. This is a great dish to make if you have leftover beef and want to transform it into a new dish for your next meal! This dish can be enjoyed on its own or on top a bed of rice.
