Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the beef and spice mixture up to a day ahead; add broccoli and cook just before serving. Variations: Substitute ground turkey or chicken for beef. For a vegetarian version, use crumbled firm tofu or lentils. Add a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of raisins for extra Moroccan flair. Serving Suggestion: Serve over couscous, brown rice, or with warm pita bread. For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
