Notes
- Add diced bell pepper or julienne carrots at the same time as the broccoli.
- Use skirt steak or sirloin, but pound them thin before cutting and marinating.
- Tamari is a good gluten free alternative to soy sauce.
- If you shorten the marinating time, the beef will have less flavor, but you can marinate it up to 4 hours.
- Keep leftovers for up to 4 days.
