What Is The Beef Used In This Recipe
I bought a beef roast that I snagged on sale and sliced up into thin strips. Check with the butcher at the grocery store. A lot of times they will slice it however you request for free.
This will save you even more time for prepping if you have them slice it while you finish up your shopping.
You are more than welcome to use other cuts of roast, steaks, etc. They all work great. I just love the marble of the fat paired with the meat from a chuck roast. Plus they are affordable.
Ingredients Needed
- Roast thinly sliced
- Beef broth, we bought low sodium
- Brown Sugar
- Soy Sauce, low sodium
- Garlic
- Cornstarch
- Broccoli
- Rice
Basic ingredients that you might already have on hand in your pantry and fridge.
