Quick Mongolian Beef & Broccoli

The first time I made this recipe it was not fast or simple. I overcooked my rice and I used way too many pans than what I prefer - not a fan of doing dishes!

So I've adjusted it, adapted it, and even improved the ingredients so that this flavorful dish can be whipped up any weeknight.

Save this recipe for your meal planning!
