When I was young my family did not go out to each much, but when we did, it was often to a Chinese restaurant. I almost always chose beef and broccoli from the menu. So, I decided to give an old childhood favorite a try. I've made stir-fries in the past, but with those handy-dandy bottles of stir-fry marinade or mixes, full of preservatives and MSGs. The challenge for me tonight was to make the marinade and sauce from scratch.
