Pin a Day: Easy Onion Scallion Beef

This was a week full of great food and Wednesday was no exception to that trend.  I tried out this recipe for Easy Onion Scallion Beef.   I had to make several changes and substitutions, but the overall result was delicious.  For the beef, I bought thinly sliced beef that was recommended for sandwiches because I knew it would stir fry quickly.  Unfortunately, I was unable to add onions because they onions at my grocery store were all rotten.  I am not a fan of the quality of produce at times here in Austin and this was no exception.  So, I ended up using some frozen broccoli instead of onions, because beef and broccoli go well together.  I started by marinating the beef, while I started on some rice.  Next, I cooked the beef half way and mixed together the sauce.  I didn't have any oyster sauce so I substituted some teriyaki sauce and Worcestershire sauce.  Next, I cooked some garlic and broccoli.  I added the beef back in, along with the sauce and cooked it until it was done.  Finally, I added in some scallions and it was ready to eat.  We both really liked it and enjoyed the various flavors.  I doubled the recipe, but it was so good that there were very few leftovers.  This is definitely a dish I'll make again and hopefully next time I'll be able to add in onions.
