This beef and broccoli meal prep was really delicious, and also really filling! Such a quick and easy recipe! It's also really budget friendly! I was spending so much money eating out every day, I'm so glad to meal prep now!

Greg Jones says:

This is one of my favorite meal prep recipes because it's simple, quick, and budget friendly. You don't have to use a fancy cut of meat to enjoy this dish.

Becca Dielio says:

Sauce is amazingly easy and tasty. Good for almost any stir fry recipe

Chaz Norwood says:

I made this recipe but found myself having to use a lot of soy sauce to really get the flavor I like. Then it was a little salty, so next time I may go with low sodium soy sauce or tamari. Still, I like the use of ground beef because it’s budget friendly.
