This classic beef stir-fry recipe is the perfect way to use up some of your leftover vegetables and other pantry staple ingredients. This beef and broccoli dish comes together in just 25 minutes and only requires ingredients that you probably already have. And if you don't? You can just skip them!

This stir fry is packed with strips of beef steak, veggies, and saucy flavors for a weeknight dinner warrior that checks all the boxes. Served with rice or lo mein noodles, this will be the best beef stir-fry you've ever made.

  • Stir beef into vegetables and season with soy sauce and sesame seeds. Continue to cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 2 more minutes.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!


recipe Dessert Recipe: Grandma's Iron Skillet Apple Pie
Servings: 8
allrecipes ~ Step by Step

"Very good, family loved it! It's a great pie to eat warm as the brown sugar makes it a bit like a caramelly apple pie. I did add 2 T of flour tossed into all of my apples due to the amount of sugar and butter in the recipe I wanted it to be a bit of a thicker sauce and I also added nutmeg and allspice with the cinnamon just because I like those in my apple pies."
Recipe by: spirit1k
    Ingredients:
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 5 Granny Smith apples -- peeled, cored, quartered, and thinly sliced
  • 3 (9 inch) refrigerated prerolled pie crusts
  • 1 cup white sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small chunks

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place 1/2 cup butter into a 9-inch cast iron skillet; place the skillet in the preheated oven until butter is melted. Remove the skillet and sprinkle with brown sugar; return to the oven to heat while you prepare the apples.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven; arrange 1 refrigerated pie crust on top of brown sugar. Top pie crust with 1/2 of the sliced apples. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon on top. Place second pie crust over apples; top second crust with remaining apples and sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Top with third crust; sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and dot with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cut 4 slits into the top crust for steam to escape.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
