Description
Beef and broccoli is a popular dish that is made by stir-frying thinly sliced beef and broccoli florets in a savory sauce. It is a staple dish in Chinese-American cuisine and can be found in many Chinese restaurants. The dish is typically made with flank steak or sirloin steak, but other cuts of beef such as tenderloin or round steak can also be used.
The beef is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar and cornstarch, which helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor. The broccoli is blanched before stir-frying, to ensure that it stays crisp and green. The dish is stir-fried with garlic and ginger, and the sauce is thickened with a mixture of cornstarch and water. The dish is typically garnished with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Beef and broccoli is a delicious and healthy dish that is high in protein and low in fat. It’s a great way to incorporate vegetables into your diet, and it can also be made with other vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or mushrooms. The dish can be adjusted to personal taste by using more or less of certain ingredients and by adjusting the amount of sauce used.
