This Beef and Broccoli recipe has been one of the top posts this month on the blog! It's one of my family's favorite stir-fry recipes too: from the tender beef, to the crisp-tender broccoli, and the salty, garlicky, umami-rich sauce. Plus, the whole thing takes an hour, with only 15 minutes of cooking time. ⁠⁣ ??⁠⁣ Readers have called it, "restaurant-worthy", a "110% excellent recipe!", and "easy to make."⁠⁣ (Thank you!! ?) ?⁠⁣ Head over to the link in my bio to get the full, printable recipe (it's easy to make, but with all of my tips, the recipe's a bit too long to fit in the caption!). ⁠⁣ ⁠⁣ https://stripedspatula.com/beef-and-broccoli-recipe/⁠

  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
