Stir-Fried Beef & Broccoli

This dish seriously rivaled take-out and was made in about the same amount of time it would take to order in! Big thumbs-up from the hubs and small thumbs-up from the kids (though I think the kids were all about the Lo Mein egg noodles I made).

Ingredients:

1 Pkg brown gravy mix (I used a low sodium one)
1 cup water
1/4 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1 Tbs vegetable oil
3/4 lb flank or boneless sirloin cut into thin strips
2 cups broccoli florets (I used frozen)
Cooked rice or Asian noodles

Preparation:

Mix gravy packet, water, and pepper in small bowl and set aside. Prepare rice or noodles according to package directions.

Heat oil in large skillet to medium-high heat. Add beef, cook and stir 3-4 minutes. If using frozen broccoli, cook just enough so that is not still frozen, but not cooked entirely. Stir in broccoli and gravy mix. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5-8 minutes.

Serve over cooked rice or noodles.
