When you really want Beef & Broccoli and don't have most of the ingredients...

I was at the store wandering the aisles (which I always advise NOT to do) but I saw thinly sliced stir fry steak in the meat section and instantly thought BEEF & BROCCOLI and I have been craving if for days.   I was at a Health Fair all days and really didn't feel like cooking when I went home but my options were Shakeology and listen to Jason mention repeatedly that we had no food in the house OR I could make Beef & Broccoli - which still could get complaints because Jason doesn't eat broccoli.  I am pleased to announce that he eat it AND said it was good.  I'm going to call that a WINNER WINNER STIR FRY DINNER (ha ha get it?)   
The beef was still cooking - that's why it is so pink ;)



That was a great plan until I looked up recipes and realized the ONLY ingredients I had were the actual beef and broccoli. (insert annoyed face) so I decided I would improvise and hope for the best.  



It turned out SO good, was 21 Day Fix approved and super easy.   If you want to try it out I will post the recipe below.
