Excellent stir fry. I put the first 6 ingredients in my mini food chopper and minced everything together, used my mandolin on the red pepper and I cut the beef while it was still 3/4 frozen.The broccoli florets are quick to cut. It made the recipe so easy. I used Balsamic vinegar. Thanks for a do again recipe.

I grew up in the Midwest and from a Swedish family, so I love food.
My grandmother doesn't normally measure when she cooks and I kind of picked that up from her. Most of my dishes can't be repeated due to this.
I love experimenting!!
