We’re not big meat eaters (neither are we vegetarians) and I spied this quick little recipe on the BBC GoodFood site the other day and decided to try. BBCGoodFood is one of my favourite food magazines. I can skim out the GF recipes for me and practise making the heavy traditional stuff like pork pies and pasties for my husband.

The original recipe for Beef StirFry w/Broccoli and Oyster Sauce is right on the GoodFood site. I, of course, made modifications. If you’re looking to try other recipes on this site or from the magazine (I either get a copy from the library or buy the holiday edition from Barnes and Noble), you’ll need to convert some of the measurements.

These were my ingredients- nothing really fancy or complicated. I didn’t have a garlic clove laying around so I used powdered and I ommitted the beef. I also substituted fish sauce for the oyster sauce as Wal-Mart didn’t have any gluten free stuff.  Oh heck, let’s face it, I just rearranged this entire recipe!

Since this is fairly easy and tasty fare, I added some sliced mini pepper (so cute! got them at Costco) and green onions instead of a white onion. I just followed the first couple of steps and softened the peppers first before adding the brocolli. Mine was frozen so I adjusted the cooking time a little and added the green onions last.

There were several suggestions in the comments on this recipe for small substitutions, serving on rice noodles, etc. I served mine over plain brown rice and it was DE-LISH.

Tasty factor: thumbs up from me- will try it next time with the meat.

Poopy factor: none (however, husband didn’t try it because it has something ‘evil and green’ in it.)
