My family often requests this tasty stir-fry. It's great because it combines tender beef and nutritious vegetables in one dish. We enjoy it year-round but especially in summer, when I grow my own broccoli and onions. Plus, it doesn't heat up the kitchen. —Ruth Stahl Shepherd, Montana

Loved this. Easy and the taste was great. I told my husband it was good but he said he wasnt hungry. After he taste a bite he shouted, "That is GOOD!" and then proceeded to eat all of it! Cannot wait to make it again.

Made this for my family and it was delicious! I also added sliced waterchestnuts for extra crunch. Will make this again!

Delicious. I substituted ground beef and added green beans and bean sprouts.

I made this and it was quite tasty. The beef was a bit too chewy and I even got a better cut. So, I am going to use chicken next time. Great flavor!!
