Is teriyaki beef and broccoli a breakfast food?
The teriyaki beef and broccoli, pictured above, was really good for dinner last night. It isn’t what I’m eating for breakfast. I’ll be eating steel-cut oatmeal with a little brown sugar and milk.
It brings to mind a little question I’ve had for a long time: why are certain foods only for breakfast? Like toast? Or scrambled eggs? Hash browns?
Is this just a North American thing? Why is that we have this thing called “breakfast for dinner”? I love it when we have breakfast for dinner, but why do we not just call it toast-bacon-hash browns-scrambled eggs-orange juice for dinner? Or, just dinner.
Hey, drop the milk and rather add a half a teaspoon of cinneman than you will be eating oatmeal!

Oh, there’s a little cinnamon, a bit of brown sugar and the steel-cut oats are cooked for a 1/2 hour to make oatmeal. I store it in the fridge and add a bit of milk when I reheat it in the morning.

Thanks. My wife thinks so too. It’s actually really easy. Here’s what you do:
1. Steam a head or two of broccoli – not all the way, because it will be too soft.
2. Cut, cross-grain, a couple of steaks into strips and saute with a bit of EVOO and minced garlic (once the steaks are more than halfway done – you don’t want to overcook the garlic).
Make a teriyaki sauce – my favorite is this one:
3. Drain the beef.
4. Add the broccoli and teriyaki to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes.
5. Boil some 3 minute stir-fry noodles.
6. Serve all together in a bowl.
Ta-dah!
