July 26, 2019 at 1:41 amWe love Beef and Broccoli but I ve been all over the place with them and tried a lot and they always seem to lack something. We ve had YOUR recipe at least 3 times and it s now our go to recipe. I don t know what it is, if it s the onion or the sesame oil (probably both! lol). I ve also experimented with the meat. Luckily the first time I used stir fry beef I knew I needed to cut the time. But this last time I used a Chuck Roast steak? I don t understand all the cuts. But it was good. I wasn t consistent with the cutting so a few pieces were *ahem* tough. But overall it seemed a good cut of meat. This is a FABULOUS recipe. I love my IP so much. I feel I can actually get a decent meal on the table during the hot days of summer without half of it at the stove or turning on the oven.
