Better Than Take Out

Nothing beats a Saturday night of Chniese food what can be better? Actually the homemade version of it - namely the much beloved beef and broccoli. This is an easy dish that can be made up in less time than a delivery.

I have been craving beef and broccoli for a long time. Yet nowadays it's expensive to order take out from my favorite place. I created a simple four ingredient version t hat's beyond tasty.

I used Beyond Steak bits mixed with frozen broccoli.The broccoli was microwaved for three minutes first and then added to the olive oil sauteed beef tips

Flavoring was low sodium soy sauce and Clover Valleys cayenne  pepper - garlic mix. This last added so much flavor and I definitely recommend it for other recipes(I plan on adding a pinch in my tomato sauce for pasta for some kickiness.

Add a good quarter of a cup of the soy (you can add more if you find it the beef and broccoli too bland). and then add the broccoli

I added a healthy pinch of the cayenne pepper garlic mix. This is adequate and flavors the mix nicely.

Cook for about ten to fifteen minutes over a medium flame then let it simmer over a lower one. At this point to make it truly authentic, microwave rice as a side.

This was one of the best vegan beef and broccoli  I've had. The cayenne garlic  elevates both the Beyond Steak and broccoli;I. It definitely added punch to it and made it so much better than the take out version.

You don't need a take out to enjoy a Saturday night. Try this version for a delicious variation of the classic take out dish. It's way better with an extra kick
