    Beef, Broccoli & Peppers Stir Fry

    I like a good stir fry for using up odds and ends of vegetables.  In this case, I didn’t really have enough broccoli to make just a broccoli and beef stir fry, which was what I initially thought of cooking, but I added in some sliced red and yellow peppers and there was plenty.  I…
