Hi,
Please consider submitting your beef & broccoli photo as well as some of your other photographs/recipes to FoodGazing.com. FoodGazing.com was launched just a few weeks ago and we are looking for great food photos and recipes.
I’d definitely give it a try with the mushrooms.
I cannot wait for your cookbook, all your recipes are amazing, I have stacks of them printed out 🙂
Just made this for supper and it was so good! Much better than the beef and broccoli we usually get in restaurants!
Just made this but substituted chicken and chicken stock instead of beef / beef stock. WOW! Was worth the extra $ to buy sauce ingredients I didn’t have. One of the best at-home Asian dishes I have ever made. Thanks!
That’s a great idea. Maybe with pork tenderloin medallions too!
