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 to 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.

Three years later, I'm still making this recipe regularly. Love it. Simple, quick, easy, delicious. Goes best with rice.

Excellent recipe! I tried it last night and it came out very good! Instead of flank steak though, I bought a chuck steak and sliced it up and it worked great! I also used frozen broccoli as a time saver and that also worked great! I will be using this recipe regularly I am sure! I am an accomplished cook and am very good with a wok so I didn't need to double up the sauce, I had plenty with the original recipe! If you cook it quickly like most wok cooking is, then the sauce doesn't evaporate, ironically because I used frozen broccoli it added some water content to the existing sauce so this also helped me retain more sauce using the original recipe amounts. Also I added the meat first then added the garlic and ginger which negates any chance at overcooking the garlic and ginger It's too easy and tasty!!! Thanks for the recipe!

Made this tonight and it was so good and EASY!! Yumm! I did double the marinade so I would have a little more sauce and it turned out perfectly. Will definitely make again!

Loved this recipe. My kids even ate the broccoli! They've picked sesame chicken as the next recipe to try along with your egg rolls. Everything we've tried on your site has been great! Thanks!
