THE BEST EASY BEEF AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
I clipped this recipe from Taste of Home magazine several years ago and have found it to be the best-tasting easy beef and broccoli stir-fry. It is credited to Ruth Stahl. I often use charcoal chuck steak, which is very tender and lean. I also like that it doesn't call for any unusual ingredients.

Tips:
- To ensure your stir-fry beef is tender and flavorful, choose a high-quality cut of beef, such as flank steak or sirloin.
- Slice the beef against the grain to help it cook more evenly and quickly.
- Marinate the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance its flavor.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet to cook the beef over high heat. This will help create a nice sear on the beef and prevent it from sticking.
- Add the vegetables to the wok or skillet in stages, starting with those that take longer to cook, such as carrots and broccoli.
- Stir-fry the beef and vegetables until they are cooked through but still crisp-tender.
- Serve the stir-fry beef immediately over rice or noodles.
