Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For tender beef, slice it against the grain. Marinating the beef in olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking will enhance its flavor.
- Broccoli — Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes before adding them to the skillet. This will help retain their vibrant green color and crisp texture.

- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese over the dish before serving.
- Serve the Beef & Broccoli over a bed of couscous or quinoa for a complete Mediterranean meal.
- Feel free to add other Mediterranean vegetables such as zucchini or eggplant for additional variety and nutrition.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of harissa sauce.
