Easy Beef and Broccoli with Cauliflower Rice

This beef and broccoli stir fry uses only a few ingredients and it's so simple to make! It is perfect for a quick weeknight meal! This dish comes together in less than 15 minutes, not including the time needed to marinate the beef. What I love about this recipe? The sauce has a little hint of sweetness that balances nicely with the saltiness of the soy sauce. It is a really great combination!

I used a really good non-stick skillet and sprayed it with nonstick cooking spray. The beef created enough liquid so that it didn't stick to the pan. Keep in mind, you do not have to use cauliflower "rice" with this. I just added it because I usually like to eat "rice" with my stir fry and this was no exception. Feel free to add more broccoli or other veggies such as mushrooms or sweet bell peppers. This dish would also be great served with Trader Joe's cauliflower fried rice! It is such a versatile recipe!

If you want simple and fast, then this is the recipe for you! Enjoy this scrumptious dish!
