Wonderfully simple flavors - the taste of the vegetables and beef aren't overpowered by a heavy sauce. If you like your beef less well done, cook the veggies as directed, adding the beef last (before adding the broth). Get a sear on both sides then add the broth when it is three minutes from being done.
