Easy and Delicious Beef and Broccoli Recipe

Tender beef steak, stir-fried with broccoli and a heavenly Chinese-style stir fry sauce. Simple, quick and delicious!

It's ready in 20 minutes, so this beef and broccoli stir fry makes a great mid-week meal for the family.

Ingredients for this Beef And Broccoli:
▢3 tbsp vegetable oil - (or swap for any other high smoke point flavourless oil)
▢500 g (1.1lbs) skirt/flank steak - sliced very thinly, against the grain *Tip 1
▢450 g 1lb tender stem broccoli - (broccolini) any thicker pieces sliced in half length-ways
▢1 tsp minced ginger
▢2 cloves garlic - minced

Sauce Ingredients:
▢250 ml 1 cup + 2 tsp hot beef stock (water + 1 stock cube is fine)
▢3 tbsp light soy sauce
▢1 tbsp dark soy sauce
▢1 tbsp Chinese rice wine - you can swap for sherry if you like
▢2 tsp sesame oil
▢3 tbsp light brown sugar
▢⅛ tsp white pepper
▢⅛ tsp black pepper
▢2 tbsp cornflour - cornstarch, mixed with 5 tbsp cold water to make a slurry

To finish:
▢1 tsp sesame seeds

Top Tips:
Tip 1 Freeze the Steak - just a little
Place the steak in the freezer for 10-30 minutes before slicing. This will make the meat firmer and easier to slice thinly.

Tip 2 - Fry the broccoli for longer if you like it softer
We want the broccoli for this dish to be tender, but still bright green and with a bit of crunch. If you like your broccoli softer, stir fry for an extra couple of minutes. You can add a tablespoon of water to help it cook quicker and more evenly. Then be sure to transfer the broccoli as well as any liquid left in the pan to the bowl – don’t leave any water behind or it will spit when you add oil to the wok for the next step).

Cut of Beef:
I like to use Beef skirt/flank as it's a fairly inexpensive cut of meat with good flavour. It does have to be cut thinly though. If it's cut too thick, it will be chewy.If you prefer you can use sirloin or ribeye steak. These cuts are more tender (and more expensive!) - so they can be cut a little thicker if you prefer.

This is a staple recipe in Thailand and if you are not into beef you can substitute with chicken or pork and use an appropriate stock, for a little extra kick chop up several small red/green chillis and add them in the later stages of cooking. You can also use a standard garlic/ginger paste available in any asian or Indian market. I personally prefer Indian long grain basmati rice, which I consider is the best rice for any stir fry dish.

Just made this, didn’t have rice wine so used a little white wine vinegar, but it was absolutely delicious. Will be doing again

[theblueduck]

Thank you! I made this the other night. Absolutely delicious, always wary of online recipes but after following your crispy beef as well I was very optimistic about this one. I used white wine vinegar instead of rice wine but it was still amazing 👏

[nemomonteflores]

I don’t eat beef but I will follow this stir fry with chicken. LOVE this channel!

[havingalook]

I have just discovered you and your wonderful fresh and inventive recipes. I quickly scrolled through your list of videos and see none for pork (yes I may have missed them). You live in the land of beautiful pork - think Berkshire pork! Why am I not seeing pork?

[tphilip]

That was quick and easy, even though I had to run to the local store to get the beef cubes 😊. My daughter who is a beef broccoli lover, wiped it clean. Thank you 👍👍

Who knew that an English lady would stop making me so afraid of making Asian dishes? Nicky, you are the BOMB! Thank you (yet, once again) for giving us the means and wherewithal to make our OWN Chinese takeout! You are SO appreciated!

[TerryComo]

Your suggestion of freezing the steak a bit so it is easier to cut is genius. It is hard sometimes to cut uncooked meats, chikcen so it makes perfect sense. Always appreciate your wonderful videos!
