I love Chi­nese food but it doesn’t really love me. Okay, sorry TMI… The good news is I found a super healthy and easy beef with broc­coli recipe. I just made it the other night and even my “picky” 16 year old son said it was bet­ter than any restau­rant! It’s a sim­ple din­ner that is packed full of fla­vor. I think I’ve solved your “what’s for din­ner?” dilema for today. Find the recipe here.

Tips:

–Use brown rice to make it extra friendly on your waistline.

–I used a lit­tle more soy sauce then the recipe called for.

–Don’t over cook the broc­coli for bet­ter tex­ture and flavor.

–Dou­ble the recipe and have left overs for lunches or din­ner the next night. (that’s what I did)

–I don’t love gin­ger so next time I will cut the amount in half. How­ever I know it’s needed to add the nec­es­sary fla­vor pro­files. If you like it, don’t change a thing!

–Use chop­sticks to make din­ner seem a lit­tle extra special/authentic.

–If you want to make this for com­pany, a party or even a pic­nic, buy cool Chi­nese boxes and serve the beef with broc­coli in them indi­vid­u­ally. Attach chop­sticks and a cookie on top of the box with raffia/twine. You can find a large vari­ety of pat­terned and dif­fer­ent sizes of Chi­nese boxes at craft stores such as Michaels and party sup­ply stores like Party City.
