    This Asian Takeout-Style Beef and Broccoli is listed under quick, easy, delicious, and savory… in the dictionary.

    Takeout Style Beef and Broccoli

    Some people hate broccoli.

     Takeout Style Beef and Broccoli

    I am not one of these people.

    Buncha crazies.

     Takeout Style Beef and Broccoli

    I'm only kidding---you see, I don’t like okra. Actually, I really hate it. It’s the whole texture thing again. That’s not crazy of me though.

    That’s real normal of me.

     Takeout Style Beef and Broccoli

    In the past several weeks, I’ve started craving broccoli. So much.

    And that's so much so that I buy a bunch of heads of it and they’re most likely gone by the next day. I’ll eat it raw (the entire stalk part too. YUM.), boiled in salt water, or cooked into a stir fry.

    Takeout Style Beef and Broccoli

    I believe that your body automatically craves whatever’s in season and surprise surprise! Broccoli is in peak season right now! And THIS is why I’ve gone from seldom buying broccoli to “Wait. This is all the broccoli you have in stock? And in the back too?!”

     Takeout Style Beef and Broccoli

    Side note: Going to the grocery store only to find that what I really looked forward to buying that day is out of stock irritates me more than most things in my daily life. Definitely way more than stepping in poop...not that that happens in my daily life.

     Takeout Style Beef and Broccoli

    The flank steak in this dish takes literally two minutes to cook and this whole dish comes together in no time! It’s absolutely delicious, completely savory, and when I make it I can’t stop going back for more. And then a lot more.

    Still more.

    Takeout Style Beef and Broccoli

    Also, I'm so sorry for failing to make a pretty segue up there... or any segue. I went with the whole 'quit while you're behind' strategy.

      I LOVE broccoli too... I'm actually obsessed with it, just like you. 🙂 (<-- I didn't mean for that to rhyme! Ha!) I normally just roast broccoli and cauliflower, top it with a hummus+water mixture, a dash of thai or indian spice and call it dinner, but this broccoli concoction totally blows mine out of the water! YUM!!!

        Yay for broccoli! 😉
        Simply boiled with some salt is secretly my favorite way to eat it but it's so good in this dish and so good roasted too! Yum!
