Spicy Beef & Broccoli Noodles

Spicy Beef & Broccoli Noodles

It’s simple and delicious which is why it’s perfect for easy weekday lunches or dinners. I used a medium Chili Oil but you can make it as spicy as you like. It’s extra comforting with noodles but would go great over rice. Use what you have!
