For Stir-fry:
- This goes quickly, so have all your ingredients out, measured and ready to go.

- When beef is almost done add the broccoli and water. Cover with a lid and steam for 2 mins or until broccoli is bright green, but still crisp.
- Add the prepared sauce ingredients and stir fry about more 1 minute to let the sauce coat the beef and broccoli.

Notes
*For 15 Minute Spaghetti Squash:
Just poke a few holes into the squash with a fork (about 8-10) and
microwave with a paper towel under it for 5 mins. Turn it a quarter turn on its side, then cook for another 5 mins. Do this one more time, for a total of 15 mins. When done, wait a few minutes for it to be cool enough to handle, then cut in half and scrape out and toss the seeds. Scrape out the spaghetti strands with a fork and serve!
