Broccoli Beef

You don’t need a wok to cook Asian-inspired foods. But, if you like cooking stir fry a lot I highly recommend getting one. Since we moved and I misplaced mine and still haven’t replaced it. I’ve been using a large frying pan Wok

Ingredients

1. Steak (boneless beef rib eye, sirloin chuck steak, or flank) or any leftover cooked steak 
2. Broccoli
3. Baby Carrots
   (Or cut up Carrots)
4. Sesame Seed Oil (or) Vegetable oil
5. 1 tbsp. Homemade Chili Sauce (or) Chili Sauce (optional)
6. 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
7. 1 tsp. Garlic Powder or 2-3 garlic cloves
8. Salt and Pepper
9. Corn Starch (optional) for thickening up the sauce 

Recipe Notes

• You can see how to cook the steak in this post for Beef Stir Fry. Or in the video included in the recipe card. It has the step by step instructions.
• You can either slice your steak in strips or you can use beef cut up smaller in cubes (smaller than stew meat). You can find this in the meat section of your grocery store.
• Can’t find steak for this recipe right now and meal planning? Check out all our recipes. Or if you only have chicken, you might like to try making this One-Pot-Chicken Fried Rice. 

How To Cook Broccoli With Beef 

Instructions

1. If you are using leftover steak take it out of the fridge, slice thinly, and set to the side until needed. If you are cooking your steak when making the stir-fried dinner, prepare the meat by cutting thin slices. Set to the side until needed. 
2. Wash and cut up your broccoli.
3. Steam the broccoli (or) cook it for a few minutes with water in a pan or pot – just to parboil the broccoli, do not cook it all the way through, or your broccoli will fall apart and be soggy when stir-frying. Drain it right away, after 3 minutes.
4. Place your broccoli in a bowl until needed. 
5. Slice baby carrots in half, or large carrots thinly. Then set aside until needed.
6. Add the chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper into a bowl. (And optional cornstarch with a little water.)Stir together. 
7. Cook your beef (steak) if it isn’t cooked by following the directions linked or shown in the video. Then follow the next steps. 
8. If you are using pre-cooked steak or steak leftovers; Add the steak to the skillet that has already been heated with a little sesame seed oil (or other vegetable oil). 
9. Add your carrots, soy sauce, and chili sauce mixture. Stir fry for only a minute or two (at the most) to heat the steak and soften the carrots slightly. 
10. Next, add your broccoli, stir, and heat it for a minute or two. 
11. To thicken your sauce add a little cornstarch mixed with water in step 6. But, if you don’t have any corn starch, cooking on high heat will reduce liquids. 

Recipe Notes and Additional Tips

• If you are serving broccoli and beef stir fry with rice. Be sure to pre-cook the rice before starting the beef with broccoli as it cooks quickly! OR start the rice right before you start cooking your dinner. 
• We make this all the time with fresh-cut steak or leftover steak. Be sure not to overcook the meat as it can get tough.
• This homemade chili sauce gives it that sweet, spicy flavor without adding brown sugar. I love how flavorful it is!
