Beef and Broccoli Rabe Stir Fry is quick and versatile. Use up leftovers and bits and bites from the fridge. It all comes together with this Sesame Soy Dressing that doubles as a marinade.

This is one of those recipes that you can make one hundred different ways. It's a "pull everything out of the fridge" type of thing. So use it as a guideline. But I can say that this combo of ingredients was delicious! What brings it all together is this Sesame Soy Dressing that acts as both a marinade and a sauce. P.S. It's also a great salad dressing!

The Ingredients

This is the list of ingredients I used but you can mix it up however you like. I added tofu only because I had half a block that needed to be used up and any vegetables can be substituted. Keep in mind that if a vegetable you are using requires a longer cooking time, you may want to consider pre-cooking or adding it earlier to the pan.

• Beef - sirloin, strip loin, flank and hanger steaks are all great for stir fries. If using already cooked (leftover meat) add it closer to the end. If using raw, add it sooner. I used leftover barbecued strip loin cut into thin strips.
• Tofu, extra firm
• Bell pepper, any color
• Snow peas
• White onion, or any onion you have
• Garlic
• Broccoli Rabe, or broccoli
• 1 recipe Sesame Soy Dressing

Equipment

You can use any kind of saute pan for making stir fries. It doesn't have to be a wok. In fact, I own a good wok but I don't always prefer to use it. My go to saute pans are my cast iron. They are the most versatile pans and are totally non-stick. A good one to start with is this Pre-Seasoned Skillet. I have 3 different sizes plus a grill pan. I can't live without them now!

Can I Make This Vegan?

It's super easy to convert this recipe to suit a vegan diet. Simply replace the beef with more tofu, tempeh or extra vegetables. Also use sugar instead of honey in the Sesame Soy Dressing recipe
