Cheater's Chinese: Beef and Broccoli


This recipe is not at really Chinese at all, but it does have some Asian flavors and it saves me from hitting up the Hy-Vee Chinese Express counter, AKA The Sodium Temple of Doom. It is one of the quickest and easiest dinners around and perfect for a busy weeknight.

1 tbsp olive oil
1 pound free-range ground lean beef
1 head of broccoli, stemmed and chopped
2 scallions, sliced
1 can water chestnuts, drained,
1 tbsp shredded ginger
1 cup sliced carrots
2-3 tbsp soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
red pepper flakes
2 cups cooked brown rice

Stirfry the beef in the oil on high heat until no longer pink, then add veggies and red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stirfry a minute or two, then add soy and stir to combine. Serve over rice (or noodles if you're feeling saucy.)
