Make Ahead Orangey Beef and Broccoli
Friday, June 16th, 2006
I started working part time at one of those meal assembly places and I have been inspired to start prepping some of our dinner a couple of days in advance. On Monday I prepped two meals at the same time and stuck everything in a plastic bag and threw them in the fridge until we were ready to eat them. (You could also put them in the freezer) It has really been a time saver, especially when I come home from work absolutely starving and I have no energy to think about what to make.
One meal I came up with is an Orangey Beef and Broccoli. It’s healthy, quick and tasty -so what could be better! Add some steamed rice for a complete meal, and it’s easy cleanup!
Orangey Beef and Broccoli
serves 2
Add the following ingredients to a gallon size plastic bag:
1 pound of stir fry beef
1 T. vegetable oil
2 T. orange marmalade
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 T. minced garlic
1 T. minced ginger
1 T. sesame seeds
Seal bag and mix to incorporate. Keep in fridge for 2 days or put in freezer.
When ready to cook, thaw if frozen.
Heat a skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add contents of bag and cook for about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 head of broccoli to skillet and cover to allow to steam to desired doneness. Stir mixture and plate with steamed or fried rice.
