I added some sliced water chestnuts which gave the dish a fun textural component.

Cut the beef against the grain, not with it. This resulted in perfectly tender and juicy strips of meat.

I microwaved the broccoli for 3 minutes which made it perfectly tender-crisp.

I think this recipe would be great for a party or potluck. Can be easily doubled or even quadruped.

I used less salt than the recipe called for and it was still plenty flavorful.

I'm not usually a person who goes for a low-fat soy sauce, but I think it worked really well in this recipe. Big fan of the flavor.

I served with brown rice, which soaked up all the flavorful juices at the bottom of my plate. Highly recommend you serve it this way.

I think I'll also try this recipe with chicken or tofu. Very versatile which is a huge plus in my recipe book!

Broccoli was vibrant, tender-crisp, and had a slight char.

I can't believe how easy this was. A lot of times I get intimidated by stir-fries, but this was totally a weeknight friendly recipe!

I used my wok to stir-fry, but you could use a large skillet or even a large saucepan if you don't have one of these special woks. Go for it!

Used half cup of soy sauce which was plenty salty so I did not add additional salt.

I added some red pepper flakes as I like a bit of a kick to my stir-fries. Give it a little heat!
