  7. Remove from heat and serve the crispy beef and broccoli over cooked white rice.

Notes

For quick cooking and maximum crispiness, opt for thinly sliced beef. If you’d like, feel free to swap the broccoli for other vegetables like snow peas, bell peppers, or snap peas. Tweak the amount of brown sugar in the sauce to achieve your preferred level of sweetness. Less is absolutely fine. If you like a hint of heat, don’t be afraid to add some red pepper flakes to the mix. Enjoy!
