Tips

✅ You can also marinate the beef by using egg whites only and whisking all the ingredients together before adding to the beef

✅ Run broccoli under cold water when you drain to stop it cooking and getting soggy before use

✅ For perfect balance with the tender beef, don’t overcook your broccoli. I avoid using frozen ones
