Beef & Broccoli

This morning I was searching Pinterest for a new recipe for dinner and I found this recipe for beef & broccoli.  It looked easy enough so I headed to the grocery store and picked up a flank steak and some ginger.  On nights when I have to work it is easiest for me to do the prep work in the afternoon and then take a nap and cook just in time for Eric to get home from work.  So I went ahead and sliced and seasoned the steak, as well as cut up the broccoli, onion, ginger, and garlic in advance which really cut down on the time to make this meal tonight.  This recipe is actually a clean eating recipe for anyone that does clean eating and is a healthy meal in general.  As always, I made a few small changes from the original recipe and here is my version.

Ingredients

1 T olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp ginger, grated

2 small heads of broccoli, cut into florets
