What are you going to cook to satisfy everyone? The good news is that you don’t have to make two meals or serve bland tofu dogs to the vegetarians. My strategy is simple: Prepare a vegetarian main dish that’s delicious on its own, set some aside for the non-meat-eater, and then add meat or seafood to the rest of the meal. Dinner’s on the table fast, and everyone gets to enjoy the same supper without your having to do double duty in the kitchen. Dried shiitake mushrooms add an almost “meaty” flavor to the vegetarian portion of this fresh and simple version of a Chinese take-out classic. Serve with steamed rice. {(rater>id=100|name=Broccoli Shiitake Stir Fry|type=rate|headline=off)} |**Preheat:** °|**Yield:** 4 servings|| |**Prep:** 0:00|**Wait:** 0:00|**Cook:** 0:00| ====== Ingredients ====== * 8 oz. skirt or flank steak, sliced across the grain 1/4" thick * 1 Tbs. reduced-sodium soy sauce * 1 small clove garlic, minced (1 tsp.) * 6 dried shiitake mushrooms, reconstituted in 1 cup boiling water for 20 minutes * 1/4 cup black bean garlic sauce (such as Lee Kum Kee brand) * 2 Tbs.
