This Beef and Broccoli with Mustard Sauce is a quick and easy recipe for those busy night when you’re craving Chinese but don’t want the added calories. It’s ready in less than 30 minutes, that’s faster than ordering from your favorite restaurant.

Prep time is less than 5 minutes and if you’ve a thin sliced beef the cooking time will be about 20 minutes.

Sometimes, when the beef isn’t thin enough, I use a meat tenderizer so the end result isn’t tough and chewy.
