Beef and Broccoli

This is my adopted recipe Feb 2005. Just finished eating this and it's good. I froze the meat and then let it thaw for about 1/2 hour before using my electric meat/bread slicer and slicing very thin. This fed 3 of us with a tiny bit left over. I think it would be good with mushrooms fried up at the same time as the garlic. The original poster used Jasmin rice.

Directions

1. Slice beef into thin strips.

6. Add to beef mixture and heat to a boil; Immediately add broccoli.
7. Reduce heat to medium and cook until crisp and tender, about 10 minutes, less time if you want it crisper.
