just call it good eats, oh my holy does that sound good
I kind of second Jen's sentiment - just call it yummy.
However, the foodie in me knows that this is a ragu-type dish.
So just go with - yummy beef and broccoli ragu over rice.
then you sound fancy!
Is this like a stew or soup? I like the op's idea of Broccoli Ragu.
