Ingredients
• 3/4 pound beef sirloin, cut into strips
• garlic salt and ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli flowerets
• 3/4 cup diced red pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onion

• 1/3 cup dry sherry
• 2 cups beef broth, divided

Directions
Season beef with garlic salt and black pepper. Cook beef, broccoli and pepper in oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove beef and vegetables; set aside. 
 
Cook onion in butter until soft. Add rice and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add sherry; stir until absorbed. Stir in 1 cup broth; cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed.
