Beef & Broccoli

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 pounds lean beef stew meat
• 2 to 4 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cups beef broth (can be made with 3 cups water and 3 beef bouillon cubes)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 pounds frozen broccoli

First heat your oil in a large pot, or iron chicken fryer. Add the beef, garlic and onion. Stir fry the meat and vegetables until the meat browns, and the vegetables are tender and fragrant. Add the beef broth and soy sauce to the pot. Cover the dish and simmer for an hour, or until the beef is tender. Add the frozen broccoli. Cover the dish again and simmer for 10 more minutes, or until the broccoli is done to taste. Serve hot over lots of rice. This recipe is a gift from a good friend. It is so easy to make, and sooooo good to eat. It would probably be easy to adapt to the crock pot too, although I have never done so. Serves 6 abundantly.
