Beef and Broccoli
I’m guilty, are you?
Somedays are so crazy, the last thing you want to do is slave in the kitchen making a meal from scratch, especially if you’re like me and you’ve already spent the entire day in there already. The alternative? To gravitate towards something instantly satisfying. And on days when you crave comfort? Often times, it’s seemingly something that’s greasy and Chinese food is my go-to but I never feel great afterwards. Cue this beef and broccoli recipe. Your wallet will thank you and for the time? It takes less time than both delivery or take out and I promise the leftovers taste exponentially better.
- 1½ lbs thinly sliced steak {tenderloin, sirloin, flank, etc}
- 1 head broccoli
- ⅓ c soy sauce {combo of dark and/or light works but no low sodium}
- ¼ c beef broth
- 1 tb rice wine vinegar
- ½ tb oyster sauce {optional}
- 1 tb honey/brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ ts grated ginger
- ½ tb sesame oil
- 1½ tb cornstarch
- Begin on the sauce by whisking together the soy, broth, vinegar, oyster sauce {if using}, honey/brown sugar, garlic, ginger, oil, and cornstarch.
- Soak the steak for 15 minutes to overnight.
- In a skillet, drain in half the marinade and toss in the broccoli. Cook halfway.
- Add the rest and cook the meat and broccoli until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Garnish with green onions, if desired and serve with steamed rice.
Love,
Your Squishy Monster

I’m sure this is so much better made from scratch than it is from the takeout place!
My beef and broccoli always seems to come out good but not great to me. I definitely have to give your recipe a shot.

I waitressed at a Chinese restaurant many moons ago, and I would eat beef & broccoli at least three times a week, I loved it that much! This brings back memories, and I love that this has the perfect amount of sauce!
Yum. I really enjoy chines food.
Guilty, and this is the perfect recipe to take away the guilt. Looks packed with flavor and goodness.
