    How to Make Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

This recipe calls for a frozen broccoli stir fry mix, but you could use any frozen vegetables you have on hand. Or, use fresh vegetables! Stir fry is great for using up random vegetables in your fridge before they go bad. You could also substitute chicken, pork, or shrimp for the beef, or use tofu for a vegetarian entree.
