Kitchen tips
Be fresh. Replace the frozen broccoli with fresh; cook it in boiling salted water for 2 minutes first.
Get creative. Toss in chopped fresh ginger, sliced scallions, strips of red and yellow bell peppers or slivered snow peas before serving to dress up the dish.
Intensify the flavor. If time permits, marinate the beef overnight in a mixture of orange zest, chopped fresh thyme, a crushed clove of garlic and olive oil. Pat the meat dry before starting to cook the stir-fry.
Choose a side. Serve the stir-fry over brown or white rice, or try buckwheat noodles for a different flavor and texture.
