Put down the phone--no need to order takeout with this simple beef with broccoli recipe! I changed it up a bit--used top round steak instead of the pricier flank steak (which I can never find in our grocery anyway) and I cut way back on the oil using one tablespoon in all. I also microwaved the broccoli until crisp tender then added it to the mix.
