How to Make Quick Beef And Broccoli

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of beef (thinly sliced) and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and the contents of one packet of beef and broccoli seasoning mix (or 2 tablespoons of your favorite stir-fry sauce). Set aside.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 red bell pepper (sliced), and 1/2 cup sliced carrots. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables.
  5. Stir frequently and cook until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately over 2 cups cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
