This recipe
for Chinese beef and broccoli is EASY, HEALTHIER than going out because it's baked

INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

16-18 minutes.
In a small
saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red
pepper flakes, the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the remaining 2
tablespoons of brown sugar. Bring to a boil; lower the heat and simmer,
