In 1.5 weeks I will be on my way to Seattle, WA for a vacation in Seattle, Victoria, and Vancouver for our one year anniversary trip. Please give me tips on must-sees & dos while we are there! I am so excited. I have only been to Vancouver once and loved it. The only thing between now and then is my pediatrics rotation. Tomorrow is my final presentation, but I needed a break from practicing… Lately I have been reaching for quick dinner recipes, since I have been getting home after a long day and feeling pretty tired. Here is one that is quick and easy: beef and broccoli. The ginger adds a really nice flavor to this dish. If you like Asian food, you will love this recipe! I prefer to use reduced sodium soy sauce, or it tastes too salty for me. This recipe makes enough for two, so double if you want to make more.
Am I on vacation yet? :/

- 2 cups broccoli
- 1½ tbsp cornstarch

- Add the beef strips and mix with the sauce well.
- Add the beef to the skillet and cook for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally (check internal temperature or cut through to assess doneness).
- Halfway through cooking, move the beef to one side of the side of the skillet and add another tbsp of vegetable oil. Add the onion and broccoli.
- Cook for 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, add ¼ cup water mixed with 1 tbsp cornstarch, soy sauce, brown sugar and ginger to a bowl and mix together.
