Chinese Broccoli Beef Recipe

Chinese Broccoli Beef
Chinese broccoli beef (or broccoli and beef) is a stir fry dish consisting of fresh broccoli, slices of steak in a delicious sauce. It can be found at many take-out places and at many buffets in the United States, and now you can make it at home as well! The steak is first cut into pieces and then marinated in a soy sauce and sherry combination. After marinating for a few minutes the steak mixture is then fried in the pan with a little garlic and ginger. Now just a few minutes to stir fry the broccoli and you’re done! It’s really that easy. Some people like to add other ingredients such as oyster sauce or chicken broth but I don’t think that’s necessary because this simple sauce mixture tastes great. If you want to take on a more authentic approach try and find some Chinese broccoli to use in this recipe. Serve with white rice or even Chinese Fried Rice. Enjoy.

    What a phenomenal recipe, my father loves beef with Broccoli, it is what he always gets when we order out from Chinese food. Now we can make it at home, and it does not look hard at all to do :)
