Recipe Notes

• I like a lighter sauce so the taste of the meat and veggies come through, but if you want more just increase the broth and soy sauce.

• Add more vegetables if you want, then you have a stir fry!

• Use a bag of packaged and ready-to-cook broccoli florets for an even easier preparation.

• Toss the meat and vegetables often to avoid overcooking, and only do this for a minute or two.

• Try this homemade Worcestershire sauce recipe.

Here's how to make it:

1. Combine all the marinade ingredients. Divide into two bowls.
2. Add a little olive oil to a large skillet. Brown the steak then remove from heat, placing in a bowl with half of the marinade.
3. Add another splash of oil to pan and cook the onions and broccoli until slightly tender.
4. Add the steak back into the pan and pour the reserved marinade into the pan. Continue to toss the steak and broccoli until they are thoroughly coated and cook until tender. Serve over rice or pasta.
