"Beef" and Broccoli

We have a massive amount of venison in our deep freeze. I really need to par down the amount of food in storage so I have been looking for new ways to use the same old tired deer meat. Last night we tried a "beef" and broccoli stir fry recipe with thinly sliced backstrap. It was delicious. Some of the best I have had, tender, slightly sweet, deep flavor, and just salty enough to make you drink extra juice and water the next day. It was perfect served with steamed rice last night and fried rice tonight. I added a tablespoon of oyster sauce for a deeper flavor and a shake or two of teriyaki sauce as well, but adjust to your liking. Very easy recipe, especially if you just use frozen veggies like we did!
