This one-pot method uses fewer pots and other dishes in cooking than a more traditional version where you cook rice separately and stir-fry the meat and veggies with the sauce. This recipe also relies mostly on pantry staples, save for steak and broccoli. This is a great, quick meal that will likely become one of your weeknight go-tos.
