“Absolutely a hit! This was the first time that there were no leftovers because the beef and broccoli were so flavorful. Even my picky eater ate all of his broccoli. As a busy mom, I really appreciated the easy to follow directions and familiar ingredients. T” — a cook, 5.0★

“This is a fantastic recipe. I love it but sadly my husband won't eat broccoli so I make it with an assortment of fresh vegetables and he loves it. I am never quite sure when to sauté the vegetables though. Would it be before or after I sear the beef?” — a cook, 5.0★
