This month’s recipe is a super tasty, better than take-out Beef and Broccoli. With a little bit of prep the night before or prior to heading out the door in the morning, you will have a delicious dinner, jam packed with broccoli. And even better… this dish will whip up in less than 30 minutes! Yes, it’s that simple!! The only prep, is super easy, you simply cut up your flank steak and make a marinade. The longer your meat marinades the more tender and flavorful it will be, but if you forget to prep, as long as you leave that meat in the marinade for one hour, you will be good to go.
