Chinese Broccoli Beef Recipe
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.
Ingredients:
1lb flank steak
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 bunch fresh broccoli (sliced into florets)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 slices fresh ginger (finely minced)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Slice steak against the grain thinly into strips. Place steak in a bowl or sealable bag.
Step 2: Combine soy sauce, dry sherry and cornstarch. Mix well, and pour mixture over steak strips. Marinate for 15 minutes to a half hour.
Step 3: Heat the wok and add oil. Add minced garlic and ginger root and stir fry over medium-high heat for about 20 seconds. Add beef and stir fry stirring constantly for a couple minutes.
Step 4: Add broccoli and stir fry for 5 minutes or until broccoli is cooked but still crispy and dark green.

Bobby, I made this tonight. It tasted wonderful, but I have a few questions. I had 1.5lbs of steak, so I done 1.5 times the marinade, except I forgot to do another half teaspoon cornstarch, but I done 6 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 3 of Sherry. So if anything, it seems my sauce would’ve just been a little thin. But going by your pics, something is wrong because I hardly had any in the wok at all. Also, I wish you had a picture of you cooking the ginger and garlic. Mine started turning black after about 3mins in the pan, even on medium heat instead of medium-high, I used canola oil because it was bought on accident, could that have an effect? The outcome tastes good, but like I said, my garlic/ginger mixture was solid black as if burned. And I was low on sauce after stirring in the beef & broc, any tips?
The recipe still tasted great, I just have a feeling that it could have been better minus my errors (not sure what I done wrong, though).
Kent – It definetly sounds like you got the pan a little too hot with your ginger and garlic or you cooked them for too long. You only want to stir fry the garlic and ginger for a few seconds, maybe 10-15. After that you should add the beef and stir fry. As for the sauce, there is so much in my pan because I always double or triple my sauces to go with rice. I hope this helps.
Bobby- I read 20 seconds as 20 minutes. Wow.
My husband loves beef with broccoli, I made this last night and it was delicious! Thank you for such easy to follow recipes with beautiful pictures. I also made the sesame chicken and it was also very yummy!
