Skip the takeout and whip up a fast and fresh recipe for Easy Beef and Broccoli in 20 minutes or less.
Yes, you read that correctly … 20 minutes! As in, you are less than half an episode of Fixer Upper away from digging your chopsticks into a big ol’ bowl of the most flavorful, tender, saucy Easy Beef and Broccoli.
The classic takeout dishes (think Orange Chicken, Pad Thai and Chicken Egg Rolls) were one of my many cravings during my second pregnancy so I decided a fast and fresh version of beef and broccoli was a must!
There are just two tablespoons of oil in this entire dish, and you better believe it’s still packed with all that sweet, tangy, garlicky soy sauce flavor. After all, isn’t the best part of beef and broccoli the gravy-like sauce?
It has to be thick enough to coat the tender slices of beef and the broccoli florets, without weighing down the entire dish. And most importantly, there has to be just enough sauce so that the accompanying rice also gets a chance to soak up all that glorious garlicky gravy. Want to see for yourself? Tune in below!
Mouth watering yet? Grab your knife and get ready to slice and dice your way to Easy Beef and Broccoli that’s guaranteed to kick those takeout menus to the curb.

Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch, divided
- 1 pound flank steak, cut into thin 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 4 cups small broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup sliced white onions
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water. Add the beef to the bowl and toss to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Set the sauce aside.
- Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and once it is hot, add the beef and cook, stirring constantly until the beef is almost cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a plate and set it aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan and once it is hot, add the broccoli florets and sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes. (See Kelly’s Notes.)
- Return the beef to the pan then add the prepared sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve with rice or noodles.
Kelly's Notes:
- To guarantee bright green broccoli, blanch the florets in boiling water then drain and dry it very well before adding it to the pan. If you opt for this additional blanching step, reduce the cooking time of the broccoli to 2 minutes.
- The sauce must come to a boil in order for the cornstarch to work as a thickening agent.

clearly a inspirational home cook – very delicious
made it using venison and substituted fresh ginger for dried and used a squirt of honey to just try and keep it local
very delicious well done
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Matthew!
Just made this tonight and normally I’m too busy or just don’t think of leaving a comment but wow this recipe was so so good! I ended up using a frozen bag of green beans instead of broccoli because that’s what I had on hand and I loved the crunch that gave the dish. Such a flavorful sauce. Wonderful! Will be cooking again for sure!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Amanda!
This was delicious! The sauce was really exceptional. Next time I will add mushrooms or red pepper just to up the veggie content, but the recipe is perfect as is!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Julie!
Just made this for my son and I and both loved it. He said I need to make it again. He’s 16 BTW
So happy to read this, Roy! Glad you both enjoyed the recipe!
So simple and tastes awesome
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Lisa!
Delish! This was so good and easy. I will definitely be making this again.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I didn’t have fresh ginger so I used a teaspoon of ginger powdered and it was perfect. Just a hint of ginger flavor although I will try the fresh ginger next. Also, I had regular soy sauce rather than low sodium and I definitely felt it would be better with less salt. So I’ve added low sodium soy sauce to the grocery list also. I didn’t have flank steak but cube steak worked perfectly. My teen girls devoured it, and my dad said only thing wrong with it is that I didn’t make enough.
LOVE reading this, Jeannie! I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe!
Came out really tasty! Went with 2x was just the right amount.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Jeff!
I didn’t have near enough corn starch for what this recipe called for so I only put what I had in the sauce. It was soooo yummy! Fresh ginger and garlic were a game changer. I have a large family and made a 4x batch. We ended up having it for lunch the next day for the ones that were home. It may have been even better the second day!
Woohoo! I’m so happy your family enjoyed the recipe, Ingrid!
I halved the recipe for two (but kept the same amount of ingredients for the sauce. Yum. Will make it again for sure.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Mary!
SO GOOD
Love it so easy and no leftovers can’t wait to make more of ur recipes
Oh my jeez!!! This recipe was so delicious!! By far my favorite broccoli beef recipe I have tried to make at home. It did not disappoint. Not even one tiny bit. Thank you so much for sharing this phenomenal recipe with the world! I now have a new favorite. (And so does my super picky 11 year old nephew.) In my family of 10, everyone enjoyed it. Will definitely be making this one again and again.
Made your Beef and Broccoli tonight it was a Hugh hit. Very easy to make and quick. I give it a definite 5!!! It is now our # 1 go to. Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️
Excellent recipe. Approved by all my boys + a foodie.
Great recipe
My kiddos loved and so did I. Thank You!
I made this crockpot style-I doubled and combined all sauce ingredients plus the cornstarch, put the sliced flank steak into the sauce raw and marinated for minimum 1 hr. Took crock with above ingredients and
cooked on high stirring every 30 minutes for 2hrs-turned to low for another 3hrs still stirring every 30 minutes-par cooked veggies and Raman noodles and added-stirred to combine and maintained on warm until serving time
Awesome! I hope you enjoyed it, Chris!
We made this recipe using stew meat instead of flank steak (because that is what we had in the freezer). Everyone loved it!! Will definitely be making this again.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the beef and broccoli, Rhoda!
Made the beef and broccoli. Didn’t have fresh ginger but it didn’t matter. So delicious. Ty. Making this again for sure
You are so welcome, Patti! I’m thrilled you enjoyed it!
It was amazing. Depending on the cut of beef used you may have to do a velveting beforehand but so worth it when it’s melt in your mouth tender. Not too crazy about ginger so I’ll use less next time. Other than that my son inhaled it! Served it with Chinese noodles.
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Eva!
Just made this. Amazing made with Jasmine rice. Yum yum yum!!!!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Jezediah!
Much too salty.1/2. Cup soy is too much. Will try again using a lot less soy sauce
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe, Bertha. Did you use low sodium soy sauce?
Love this recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Anne!
Absolutely fabulous!! Hubby ate until it was gone!! I served with jasmine rice… Absolutely PERFECT!! I left as it was. I had a little more than a pound of meat, so I had to adjust in the fly. Will tweak it a bit next time, maybe add some more ginger and soy sauce. I like it like it is though!
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Michele!
Delicious, the only adjustment I made was 1 less tablespoon of brown sugar, one of my kids doesn’t like it too sweet.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Rae!
I made it and tasted a little sauce and it was good. I added a can of cooked mushrooms. I added extra broccoli, so I doubled the sauce recipe. Also, I cooked the broccoli first because my husband doesn’t like it crisp tender ( like at Chinese restaurants), but wanted it well cooked. I cooked it too long. Internet said steam for 6 minutes for large florets, but I did maybe 10 or more. So next time, I will get it out when it turns bright green and then cook 2 minutes with the onions and beef when they get the sauce over them. Thanks for this recipe. The meat cost about $6.00 ( $5.93 to be exact). Broccoli was about $3.00. I already had the onions and can of mushrooms and everything else, so it didn’t cost me much and it made a lot.
Excellent! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Fran!
I made this tonight my family loved it! I just added 1/2 cup of beef broth just for extra liquid. It turned out perfect. Quick meal also thank you.
You are so welcome, Michelle! I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe!
Seemed too sweet for us. Might try a lot less sugar next time and give it a try that way
Thanks for your feedback, Juliana! Looking forward to reading your results next time :)
Was easy to prepare and cook. Quick meal and it was simple enough I was able to include my 4 yo daughter to help me prep the sauce. Fun family bonding time in the kitchen. Thank you for the recipe.
This is what I love to read, Dale! I’m so thrilled you and your daughter enjoyed the recipe!
Great Recipe. Simple and tasty. I have better things to do than watch videos on how to cook Beef and Broccoli. Its not that complex, as this recipe demonstrates.
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I have made this many many times and I am always happy with it. Way back I used to buy the packages of broccoli beef mix and always had to make extra sauce and every time I thought I really just want to know how to make this myself. And now I do!
Woohoo! You are so welcome, Kindra!
This was delicious and so easy to do! It’s definitely being added to the mix. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
You are so welcome, Christy! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Best beef and broccoli I ever had.
Woohoo! This is what I love to read, Jackie! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe :)
We love this recipe!! It has become a staple in our household. Even my kiddos love it!
So glad you’re enjoying it, Hannah!
I didn’t have cornstarch, so I used flour instead. The results were amazing. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will try others in the near future.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sabrina! Welcome to Just a Taste! And if you haven’t already, I recommend signing up for our weekly newsletter so you don’t miss a thing! Sign up here: https://www.justataste.com/subscribe/
The recipe is delicious, easy just a few steps. I think I use too much soy sauce, cup over filled. But we love the meal. What can I do if I use to much soy sauce again?
Hi there! The best way to cut saltiness is to add an acidic component, so lime juice would be a great addition.
Gonna try this recipe out tonight fingers crossed it’s awesome thanks
I hope you enjoy the recipe, Sarah!
This is an awesome recipe. So quick and easy and DELICIOUS!!
This is absolutely so simple and so tasteful! Thank you so much for the recipe. Can’t wait do make this for my entire family. We love beef and broccoli and now can be done at home. Some recipes have hard to find ingredients in my small town. This was just perfect!
I’m so, so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Dulce!
What are the ounce per serving
Hi Regina – Unfortunately I don’t know the exact ounce per serving as the nutritional info is just an estimation based on the ingredient quantities divided by the number of servings.
i had the taste for Chinese food and so i went to Google to find a easy beef and broccoli recipe.Your recipe is so easy and look yummy I will be serving it over noodles.
I hope you enjoy the recipe, Tenessia!
The recipe was a hit with my son! Unfortunately, I personally can not rate this recipe on taste, I am a vegetarian. However, I will state that this recipe is very easy to make and I do make it twice a month. I cook, divide into servings size freezer bags and freeze. It comes out perfect! Only thing I add to the original recipe is some water chestnuts and bamboo sprouts. That’s because it is requested and my son loves this very tasty dish. Also, I used your tip on blanching the broccoli and that I can eat! Came out delicious.
Thanks
I’m so thrilled your son has been enjoying the recipe, Rita!
Hi Rita…
I use Butler’s Soy Curls instead of the beef. It’s fabulous! You can find it on Amazon.
This is so delicious and has become a new staple in our house! So many layers of flavor despite so few ingredients.
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Nicolette!
Made this for the first time. Delicious!!! Family of 4 not enough, didn’t know it would be so good.
I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe, Tesha!
I made it and doubled the recipe for a family of 6. Made sure I made enough for my kids to have some to take to work the following day.
It’s delicious!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Febe!
Have had this recipe in my “to try” folder for a long time and finally made it last night. Oh my gosh, this is so good!! Very easy to make with few ingredients. I will be making this often! Thank you!
You are so welcome, Kim! I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe!
I’m positive this recipe would’ve come out perfect had it not been for my usual lack of sense in the kitchen. I had angus beef tips and regular soy sauce. I’m sure you already know what this concluded to. Long story short, it came out very hard and salty. I was just looking for a quick recipe to use these day old defrosted beef tips with and went with this one. Next time I will definitely cook this recipe again with the right ingredients.
Shoot! Looking forward to reading your results next time, Giselle! :)
I’ve made this a few times and it always comes out great, I appreciate how simple it is. I’m a vegetarian so I don’t eat it, but my family loves it and even I have to admit it smells really good as it’s cooking!
So glad your family is enjoying it, Kate!
Really good!!! I would add more onions next time and less ginger. I did double the sauce and used powdered ginger instead of fresh. I put it over rice. I will definitely make this again.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Dana!
Absolutely delicious thank you for sharing your amazing recipes
You are so welcome, Kimberly! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying Just a Taste!
This turned out really well. So easy, and tasty! I used ginger paste instead of fresh,as it’s what I had, and it worked well. Thank you for this recipe!
You are so welcome, Steph! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe!
Made it for my boyfriend and I. It was a hit!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Sommer!
This is a staple recipe that my family loves!
I’m so thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe, Jennie!
So good! Had it over rice!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Maria!
couldnt find any cornflour – apart from that i added a dry red chili and oyster sauce – turned out delicious
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Mark!
Perfect for the family. They request it once a week. Thank you!!
You are so welcome, Sarah! I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe!
OMG!! I am plant based and I have made this dish many times. I use soy curls to replace the beef. My family absolutely loves this dish. Take out has never tasted so good!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Love reading this, Tanya! I’m thrilled you and your family have been enjoying the recipe!
Raised with a Asian mother and American dad, this is my most missed meal! Thank you for bringing back child hood memories, but much easier recipe!! Keep up the great work ☆
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Carol!
This dish was so good. I have never had beef and broccoli before and this is one of my households favorites now.
I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Ashley!
Raised with a Asian mother and American dad, this is my most missed meal! Thank you for bringing back child hood memories, but much easier recipe!! Keep up the great work ☆
You are so welcome, Carol! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
There’s too much soy sauce and it overpowers all of the other flavors.
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe, Jeremiah.
This was easy and I had all ingredients on hand.
I did double the sauce bc hubby likes extra. I also added maybe half a teaspoon of sesame oil and red pepper flakes and used ground ginger. Served over rice. Will make again!
Amazing! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kaye!
Yummy
My husband loves lomain but I don’t know what noodles to get or where to get them….. Help.
Hi Vickie! You can often find them in the international aisle of the grocery store. :)
Love it. I’m gonna try to fix it so I can fix meat ahead of time in the crockpot so it will be tender and just add broccoli, carrots, bamboo shoots, later and cook until tender. We will see?♀️
Enjoy!
Thank you for this it is quick and cheap and that is what we need out here right now. I always run across recipes with a hundred ingredients and it isn’t even affordable for one meal and this isn’t like that so thank you.
You are so welcome, Susan. :)
I agree ! I had everything on hand and its super easy!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kaye!
very delicious and easy to make. First time ever making this and this recipe is fool proof! Thank you for helping me make a delicious meal that everyone wished there was seconds of!
This is what I love to read! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sonia!
Easy and delicious!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Andrea!
I didn’t have low sodium soy sauce. First night was great! The leftovers were so salty I didn’t finish them. Maybe diluting regular soy sauce would help. What would you recommend?
Hi Patricia – I’m sorry to read this. Low-sodium soy sauce is essential for this recipe.
Can I use cubed Angus instead of the flank steak?
Absolutely! Just cut it the same thickness as indicated in the recipe or you’ll have to tweak the cooking time.
I made this tonight and we enjoyed it. The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars was the amount of sauce. I had to double the sauce mixture so it wouldn’t be too dry to serve over the rice. I also added red pepper flakes and used a combo of olive oil and sesame oil just out of personal preference. Definitely a good solid recipe and I will definitely make it again.
Thanks for your notes, Victoria! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Very easy to make!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Hannah!
Made this tonight, loved it. Discovered AFTER I’d started cooking that I had no ginger, so with help from Google I decided to sub 1/4 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. (Also added some red pepper flakes because I love my stir-fry spicy). I wasn’t sure how the cinnamon/nutmeg was gonna turn out, but it was delicious.
WOW! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Ryan!
Super easy! My family love it! Thank you!
You are so welcome, Rose! I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe!
So delicious and easy to make!! Need more like this!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Vickie!
can i use frozen vegetables?
Hi Rosy – Yes! My number 1 tip for using frozen veggies in a stir-fry is to ensure you account for the extra water they release if you don’t thaw them ahead of time. As the frozen veggies cook, they’ll release water, and as long as your pan is not covered and you’re using medium-high heat, that water should evaporate quickly.
Husband says it taste just like take out! Thanks for the recipe. Will make over and over again. flavor is great!
Amazing! I’m so thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Traci!
Wonderful. I added more broccoli and omitted putting it over rice…loved it
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Charlene!
Really enjoyed this recipe. I adjusted it for a smaller portion and added green onions along with the yellow onions. Quick, easy and delicious
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Ann!
Can I use regular sugar I forgot the brown sugar
Hi Sandra! If you have honey on hand, I’d recommend using that instead. :)
The broccoli beef recipe was great!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Nan!
Great recipe! The kids love this recipe. They are always asking for it.
I’m so happy to read this, Heather!
Good recipe thank you, loved the beef with broccoli will make it again!!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Kris!
Delicious! The whole family loved it!
I’m so happy to read this, K!
Easy to follow and make. Very tasty dish, my kids mowed it down.
I’m so happy to read this, Ryan!
I’m super excited to make this recipe tonight!!! I only have one question before I make it… Do you have to rinse off the meat after it has soaked in the corn starch flurry before you cook it? Thank you for such an easy recipe to follow!
Hi Robin! No, you don’t rinse the meat. :) Enjoy!
So easy and tasty! I have high blood pressure so I used half the soy sauce and added Worcestershire to make up the rest. I also added sesame seeds. We will definitely be having this again!
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Tammy!
So good and very easy to make! My hubby and kids loved it! We added a little bit of chili garlic oil to the sauce, but that’s because we like things spicy.
I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe, Patty!
Fantastic, just like my Chinese gran used to make for our lunch when we came home from school at noon. Used left over rump roast and just added at the end with the 4 minute broccoli which had the perfect crunch and texture. Could not nave been better. Thanks, like a kiss from gran, I so miss her and her cooking. We were raised on British basics and Chinese vegetables. Thank you.
This is what I love to read! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe :)
Great recipe! The kids love it and it’s very easy to make, so naturally it’s on our ‘family meal rotation’. I don’t comment on recipes however with the amount of times I’ve made this I feel like I owe one.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, Adam! I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe!
College student approved! Super easy recipe to follow that doesn’t take too long! There were no leftovers, and it was rated by other students as a “must cook again”!
Love this, Elizabeth! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Love this recipe so much! It’s my go-to when I’m craving broccoli & beef
Love reading this, LaDonna! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
It was delicious!! So much it’ll be a regular dinner night favorite for years to come! Thank you
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Brenda!
this beef and broccoli, recipe was easy and delicious! The meat was so tender.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Lauri!
I followed the recipe to a T the first time I made it and it was…okay. Not bad, but not anything I’d recommend.
A few changes that are pretty necessary if you’re aiming for anything resembling authentic:
1. To get the beef really tender like in a Chinese place, you have to velvet the beef. Just setting it in corn starch for a couple minutes while you prepare other items won’t cut it. Let it sit for 30+ minutes.
2. Not sure why the recipe mentions that cooking the broccoli until softened will be approximately 4 minutes, because it takes close to 10 minutes. I really am not sure what the author of this recipe uses that softens the broccoli in just 4 minutes, but I’m guessing you’ll need more.
Other than that, pretty nice and simple recipe for broccoli beef!
Thanks for your comment, Brad!
Made this last night with rib eye and it was delish! Just a bit salty for me, so I’ll use less soysauce and add stock, but other than that, a huge hit. Thank you!
You are so welcome, Mariko! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Agreed! Can’t cook broccoli that quickly on my stove either! I also use less soy sauce and sugar to make it a bit healthier. Still keep coming back to this recipe. Must have made it over twenty times by now. It’s great!
WOWZA! I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Jo!
It was good but I was hoping for a technique to brown the beef so the edges are crispy. This method just cooks the beef in a sauce. I did enjoy the dish though
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe, Michael!
First time making this and it was really good! I used sirloin steak. I added carrots and sautéed the onions. I only used 1 teaspoon of powdered ginger since I didn’t have fresh! Next time I’ll add the water chestnuts. Really good and easy to follow recipe.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Shannon!
Just three words. This is it!!!
Absolutely delish!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Patricia!
I don’t usually follow recipes but I have not been able to cook broccoli beef very well so I decided to try this one. I love it. I did add sesame oil and exchange white onion for green ones and used olive oil to cook with. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome, Trish! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I used beef filet and mushrooms and a little carrot , much better than most Chinese restaurants.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Steve!
This is great – I added a cup of button mushrooms and a bit more soya sauce as the first batch was quite thick. This is also great reheated the next day!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
easy to follow I had all the ingredients readily available and I can’t stop eating it
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
My grandson loved this recipe
I’m so happy to read this, Ruth!
I’ve made this recipe several times and my family loves it! Comes together easily and is a great weeknight dinner.
I’m so happy to read this, Phyllis!
I used filet motion and mushrooms and a little carrot , much better than most Chinese restaurants.
A little salty, but there were no leftovers!
My family loved it.
Hi Sean! Did you use low sodium soy sauce? I’m so glad your family enjoyed the recipe!
Great recipe! I usually add carrots and a few other veggies but great every time!!
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
I’ve made this recipe many times and my family loves it
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Noah!
I love this recipe I’ve been making it for the past couple years and it’s my favorite way to have beef and broccoli and anyone I make it for loves it too!
I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Miya!
I’ve never tried any other recipes, but this one has never failed me! I have made it many times and the family loves it! I like adding shredded carrots, water chestnuts, and bamboo chutes.
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe, Jason!
Can I use sirloin steak instead of flank?
Sure!
Good recipe. For my taste, there’s too much ginger. I’ll make it again with less ginger.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Ted!
Really great I’m a young mom who is trying to get my toddler to experience lots of new foods and this was a recipe I will be adding to our kitchen for years to come he loved it and was asking for seconds! Thank you Kelly!
Yay! I’m so happy to read this, Jess!
I have made this as written and also without meat. It always gets good reviews from friends and family. I have also used chili flakes from time to time. I fry them for 30 seconds before adding the veggies. It gives the dish a pop. Great recipe!
This is what I love to read, Eileen! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
This was good. Added some sesame oil & red pepper flakes and it took the flavor up another notch. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
You are so welcome, Angela! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Very good on riced cauliflower
I love you your recipe, sometimes I replace the broccoli with asparagus no other substitution it is awesome.
Thank You D. N. Cali
I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, David!
Love this, it is now in my “I have no idea what to make” fallback recipe book, I usually add a bit of red pepper flakes to the sauce but I do like heat
Woohoo! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Rachel!
DELICIOUS!!!!
Made this tonight exactly as written and it was very tasty! I love that this tastes even better than our favorite takeout place plus I know I used quality ingredients. Thanks for another quick and easy dinner option! My son devoured this so no leftovers.
Amazing! I’m so happy you and your son enjoyed the recipe, Jennifer!
Absolutely delicious so easy so prep and make thank you.
You are so welcome, Perlita! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I don’t see beef broth in the recipe!
Hi Cherie – There isn’t beef broth in this recipe :)
I never leave reviews. For this recipe I had to. It was delicious! I was looking for a way to use up leftover steak from the grill. This popped up and I ran with it. I did not have low sodium soy sauce so I used half the recommended soy sauce and half beef broth. Otherwise I followed the recipe as is. Turned out great! Will definitely make this again.
Amazing! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Nickie!
I never review recipes but this was delicious! The only change I made was to use the baking soda beef tenderizing method which I found elsewhere online. I did rinse the beef and pat dry to reduce the saltiness imparted by the baking soda.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Julia! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Love this recipe. I make for myself at least twice a week. Better than the store bought packages of beef and broccoli mix. Better than some of my local Chinese places that I frequent and I always have left overs for another time. Thanks for the recipe.
You are so welcome, Tia! This is what I love to read!
this was soo easy and delicious – putting in my regular rotation of dinner recipes
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Robin!
Silly question- when you say minced garlic is that from the jar or fresh cloves?
Hi Staci! I use fresh but minced garlic from a jar works, too!
This recipe is uncomplicated, quick to make and delicious!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Diane!
Way too salty
Hi Debbie – Did you use low-sodium soy sauce?
Family loved this dinner. 13, 11 & 2 year old. Speaking no words as they shovel thier face. Super compliments from the husband. We will definitely be making again.
Woohoo! I’m so glad your family enjoyed the recipe, Brooke!
People saying it’s way too salty: it’s not if you use LOW SODIUM soy sauce!
This super delicious and easy. The lil toddler I watched loved it. Could u tell me that nutrients per serving???
Hi Raquel! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! You can find the estimated nutritional info by clicking on the purple button below the recipe that says ESTIMATED NUTRITION INFORMATION. :)
I tried this recipe for friends in the Philippines. It was awesome! They couldn’t believe I made it. To this day, they believe, I brought it from a restaurant.
Thank You!
WOWZA! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Dr. Eric Terry!
I made this recipe and switched out the beef, replacing it with soy curls, as we’re a vegan/omni family. Everyone loved it. EVERYONE, even our pickiest non-vegan eater. I’m printing this one off, for future rotation in our menus.
AMAZING! I’m so thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe, Steve!
This recipe is so good. My whole family gave it 5 stars. Easy to make too.
I’m so thrilled to read this, Kim!
We love this recipe! We add carrots & mushrooms & use coconut aminos but keep everything else the same. My daughter wants this once a week!! Thank you
Love reading this, Allison! I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe!
SALTY!!!!! I wanted to love this but I don’t see how everyone isn’t put off by how salty this is. And we used the low sodium soy sauce. Yikes. I even added water to try to counter all the salt but it didn’t help. :(
Hi Charlie – I’m so sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe. I’ve never experienced this being salty when using low sodium soy sauce. What brand did you use?
My go to recipe for Beef and Broccoli! Super quick and tasty.
I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Cindy!
Soo delicious and easy to make.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Deena!
I love asian food and want to try your asian dishes but because of health concerns I need to use substitutes for soy, brown sugar and cornstarch. Any suggestions. thank you.
Hi Val! You can try using coconut aminos and arrowroot. For the sugar, it depends on your health concerns as to what would be best!
I made this tonight and wow. This is fantastic! And so easy!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Renee!
Better than takeout!
I’m thrilled you enjoy the recipe, Matt!
Are you also starting to wonder if the cost of take out is worth leaving the house?? After all if our own cookin’ tastes this good…
This was delicious, I had already marinated my beef in lime and soy sauce and I added some thinly sliced celery as well. Love how the sauce thickened up.
YUM! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Mark!
I am a travel nurse and we haven’t found a Chinese restaurant we really love so far. I saw your video yesterday and decided to make it for dinner tonight, my husband loved it!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Tracy!
Tasty and easy to make
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Bridget!
Very tasty! I added button mushrooms, and more onion. I didn’t have fresh ginger, so I used 2teaspoons of powdered ginger. Next time I will add a bit of hot sauce.
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe, Louise!
It is very yummy! Thanks for the recipe. We added broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and mushrooms and it was great.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Mackinzie!
Delicious and easy to prepare!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Michael!
really good and easy to follow, thanks! I used strips that were specifically cut for stir-fry recipes. You saved my supper of chinese food…always wanted to know how to make beef and brocoli…thanks again! Super easy to follow and super easy to make. By the way…I love the tutorial, you don’t talk down to people; really refreshing.
You are so welcome, Lyne! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe! :)
Quick, easy and delicious! I used filet mignon because that’s what I had in fridge, sliced rectangles – sooo good, only cooked a couple minutes. Added sauteed onions and pre-cooked broccoli made the night before (we prefer softer broccoli), and hubby likes heat so next time I’ll add red pepper flakes, but honestly I’m glad I ran out of my packaged Beef & Broccoli mix because it was so easy and so good! Will definitely make often. Next recipe of yours I’m trying is the Orange Chicken. :)
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kathy! Let me know how the orange chicken turns out!
Nice simple recipe to follow, I tweaked mines a bit instead of slicing the onions thinly I cut them kinda into 2” pieces, to mirror the consistency of the broccoli and beef. I toasted sesame seeds 375 degrees in oven and added to sauce mixture. Fried some noodles crispy as a topper
Easy and good tasting! Good weeknight meal for sure.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Shawna!
I’ve made this recipe twice now for my family of 6. I double it so everyone gets a hearty portion and leftovers. Even my super picky 7 year old took a few bites and gave it a thumbs up. This recipe is going into our regular rotation.
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe, Holly!
This was such an easy recipe to follow & it was a hit with both my 4 & 6 year olds. It’s now on our menu at least once/month. We added carrots but next time will add mushrooms & red peppers, too!
Thank you for a great week night meal!!
You are so welcome, Allison! I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying it!
I found this recipe and since then is a family favorite ,is like my 10 time making it.Well 11 because I’m doing it right now.Thank you
Love reading this, Yanet! I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying it!
I made this and it came out tasting like too much salt. What did I do wrong?
Hi Jennifer! Did you use low sodium soy sauce?
Love it!!!! Third time making it. I had carrots and use a little sesame seed oil and red peppers and a few other things I guess but it is a awesome base!!
I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Ben!
Tried it and it’s fool proof and easy! Very yummy result as well.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Juliet!
It was delicious, and so easy and way better than take out, way better!!
Thank You!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Wanda!
Beef broccoli just like the Chinese food restaurant and it was easy…
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Fabulous!! My hubby who does not like change asked how soon I could make it again. Thanks for sharing recipe! I added mushrooms and water chestnuts.
Yay! I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Wendy!
I made this recipe last week. This was WAY better than takeout. I never write reviews for recipes I found from websites, but this was simple & spectacular. My boyfriend & I ate this so quick, we didn’t even speak during dinner! Super simple, flavorful & last us 2 days. Thank you.
PS: Can I freeze prior to cooking? How long do you think it’d last? I would make broccoli fresh. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Mindy! I haven’t tried freezing it prior to cooking so I can’t say with certainty what the consistency would be. Do you mean freeze the sauce separately?
My first time making and it tastes delicious! My husband ask for seconds! It tastes so fresh too!
I’m so happy to read this, Marieanne!
Great start for my recipe. I added carrots, red bell pepper, and cremini mushrooms and it turned out great.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Karen!
Thank you. This one made our permanent go-to list!
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Dana!
I love this dish. I like spicy, I added some crushed red pepper flakes and green onions. My new go to meal.
I’m so happy to read this, Zion!
I LOVE this recipe! It’s one of my favorite, go to dinners. Has anyone adapted this or tried it as is in the instant pot?
I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Britt!
I’m making it for lunch today. I googled for beef recipes and came across your page. Opted for green capsicum instead of broccoli. The aroma itself tells you it’s a delicious recipe! Thank you
You are so welcome! Enjoy!
Smells just like my favorite Chinese takeout. So yummy
I’ve made this recipe a half dozen times since I found it maybe a year ago and I’m making it again tonight. My kids LOVE it. I stretch how far it goes by serving it over some basmati rice but you could totally indulge and eat it by itself!
AMAZING! I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe, Matt!
This dish is better than any beef and broccoli I’ve ever ordered/purchased from any restaurant/takeout. Absolutely delicious. Planning on making it this week again
WOWZA! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Gabriella!
Holy smokes!! We just finished eating this, and it is SO-O-O yummy!! It was a breeze to make, so this is now a definite addition to our dinner list for at home. It tastes better than takeout!!
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Wendy!
I just made a plant based version. I used Farm Boy Beef-Less Tenders, and switched out coloured peppers for brocolli and maple syrup instead of brown sugar.
(These are what I had on hand)
Delisious!!
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Tammy!
Awesome beef broccoli. I just made for lunch in the recipe I used 1 TB of brown sugar and add 1 1/2 T of Splenda
Thank for this delicious recipe, it’s my go to when I’m too lazy to go get take out lol
Do you have a recipe for orange chicken
I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Vicia! Here’s the link to my Quick Orange Chicken and Broccoli recipe: https://www.justataste.com/quick-orange-chicken-and-broccoli-recipe/ and to my Baked Orange Chicken recipe: https://www.justataste.com/baked-orange-chicken-recipe/ Enjoy!
Just finished making this and am eating it as I type. It is SO DELICIOUS, and ridiculously easy! The blanching of the broccoli was an excellent idea; I did make two minor changes– 1) I used temari for the soy sauce (temari is the original soy sauce, made entirely of soy; most non-temari is made with added wheat or barley to speed up fermentation, but temari (not a brand-name, just a classification) is pure soy and completely gluten-free if that matters to you. It’s also slightly less salty) and 2) I cooked the onions for a bit before adding the broccoli– can’t stand crunchy onions, it’s a personal thing. The flank steak was amazingly tender, and adding the cornstarch/water coating was new to me; interesting what a difference it made! Thank you for this, I’ll use it many times over.
You are so welcome, Ysabet! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
FYI – at the top of the recipe there is are buttons if you’d like to double or triple the recipe. Be aware that it will automatically adjust the ingredients on the list but not in the directions.
Thanks so much for your note, Sabrina!
Just finished making it and starting to eat. Delicious! I did not have low sodium soy sauce so I used regular… and I can see why you use low sodium! Too salty, don’t do like I did. Delicious anyway.
Thanks for your note, Glenda – low-sodium soy sauce is essential. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! :)
I have made this recipe MANY times! It is one of my family’s favorite meals! Works great with venison as well.
I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe, Barb!
I work for a residential facility for elderlies and the ladies live this so much, i served it with white rice and shrimp tempura and breaded eggplant. It was a great hit!!! Thank you.
YUM! I’m so happy everyone enjoyed the recipe, Rejean!
Great recipe! Have made it twice now and will definitely be making it again. Thanks so much!
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Julie!
I’ve never left a rating before, so that in itself says lots ;)It was awesome!!!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Dolores! And thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment!
Delicious! My three year old loved it!
I’m so happy to read this, Emunah!
Made this for dinner tonight. It was really easy and delicious. This will definitely become a regular meal at my house.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Ashley!
Perfect
For once a meal EVERYONE in my house LOVED!
YAY! I’m so thrilled to read this, Julie!
Next time I’ll use stir fry cut because the beef flank was super tough for my liking.
Made this dish, also added red chili flakes and my hubby went back for thirds. Will make again ❤️
Amazing! I’m so thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Beverley!
We loved it!! I added red pepper flakes for a kick of heat!
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Tracey!
Very easy & tasteful. I used venison instead of beef and arrow root in place of corn starch. Both worked perfectly. It was a tad sweet for me as I dont use sugar at all.
My finicky husband even enjoyed it!
So happy you and your husband enjoyed the recipe!
This beef and broccoli was amazing
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sheri!
yes i made this dish it was easy and delicious. i had it with stir-fry noodles. my kids and i enjoyed this meal. thank you
You are so welcome, Helena! I’m glad your family enjoyed the recipe!
Just finished a bowl of this with basmati rice. It was an easy recipe, and I had just about everything on hand, with the exception of brown sugar. I substituted about the same amount of teriyaki sauce and a half-handful of regular sugar. I didn’t have the ginger and forgot the onion, but this was the best non-takeout beef and brocolli I’ve cooked!
I’ll add that I brined my top sirloin beforehand because I knew I wanted it tender, and that was water, sugar, kosher salt and sambal chili paste. I just like how brining the thinly-sliced meat makes it more tender.
Awesome! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Kaedyn!
I have not made this mouthwatering recipe yet. I am a diabetic and I cannot use soy sauce plus I have gouty arthritis which salt is a no-no. Can you reccommend a substitute for soy sauce. Thank You.
Hi Candice! I’m not a nutritionist so I recommend doing your own research to find a substitute that is both diabetic friendly and low in sodium.
Try Coco Aminos. You can find them at Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, major grocery stores, etc.
Candice, I am on the SCD diet and we cannot use soy sauce.
If the link won’t work, just Google SCD soy sauce.
Excellent! I add a little crushed red pepper flake to the soy sauce mixture, but other than that it is exactly as written and always turns out perfect.
Great addition, Bryan!
Delicious! I added my own touch with 1 tbsp of Thai Chili sauce
Excellent! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jason!
Tastes good besides being WAY TOO salty. Does not need 0.5 cup of soya sauce.
Hi Kaley – Did you use low-sodium soy sauce?
Really tasty and easy to make. Straight forward directions; Thank you. I will definately be adding this to the rotation!
You are so welcome, Tracey! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Very good flavor. I used leftover ribeye steak and it was delicious. I did not add water to the corn starch and bee but rather put the beef and corn starch in a bag and coated with a few shakes. Added a little more water at the end. Came out great.
Excellent! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Joe!
Family favorite! Clear instructions, sioeasy to make, and delicious!
I’m so happy to read this, Mina!
This recipe ruined restaurant beef & broccoli for us, it’s THAT good! It’s so easy to throw together for a week night meal. I typically cook it with frozen broccoli florets and it still tastes great. I tinkered with it a bit by only using 1/3 cup la choy soy sauce and 2 tbsp brown sugar, and I add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Fantastic!
WOWZA! I’m so thrilled to read this, Mavis!
How do you use the frozen broccoli? Do you blanch it or just toss it in the skillet frozen?
Hi Brooke! My number 1 tip for using frozen veggies in stir-fry is to ensure you account for the extra water they release if you don’t thaw them ahead of time. As the frozen veggies cook, they’ll release water, and as long as your pan is not covered and you’re using medium-high heat, that water should evaporate quickly.
So good! I’ll never buy a beef broccoli packet mix again! Thanks for the great recipe
You are so welcome, Maria! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
We are munching on the Easy Beef and Broccoli right now.
Only complaint is from wifey, who thinks it is too hot ;-)
It is definitely a keeper this recipe
I’m thrilled you and your wife enjoyed it!
This is a good basic beginner beef & broccoli recipe – Liked it sauce was a bit too salty for us so on my second attempt at the recipe I reduced the soya sauce to 1/4 cup & added beef stock unsalted. Was much better. You might consider adding a few drops to 1/2 tsp of sesame seed oil i found it gave the whole dish a bit more in depth flavour. Work well for GF folks –
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe, Lorraine. Did you use low sodium soy sauce?
No I used low sodium on my you first try & Tamara sauce on the second try to keep it GF. Even at that it was too salty. Perhaps we are now sensitive to salt in our diet. Other than that the basic recipe was good, I would encourage folks to add the sesame oil to round out the flavour. Make sure you serve this with a good quality brown rice for extra nutrition.
Thanks for your notes, Lorraine. :)
I know it’s good when I start going around bragging about it.
Even more so when my wife loves it right then and there I really appreciate that recipe.
I’m so thrilled you and your wife enjoyed the recipe, Lee!
Pretty Good! Super Easy!
I’ve tried several different beef broccoli stir fry recipes, and this one is definitely the tastiest and simplest to prepare. But, in what universe does this take only 10 minutes to prepare? For crying out loud, it takes a majority of the 10 minutes just to peel and mince the garlic and peel and grate the ginger. Forget about peeling and slicing the onion, chopping and washing the broccoli, and preparing the meat and sauce. Maybe if you’re Bobby Flay you can prepare this in 10 minutes, but the average person, if they’re being honest with themselves, cannot. Now, lots of recipes grossly understate the realistic preparation time, I just felt like calling out this one. I give this recipe 5 stars for taste, and 1 star for fantastically misleading the consumer on preparation time.
Thanks for your review, Allison!
Super easy and delicious meal to make. 10/10 recommend
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kamille!
Hi I was wondering if top sirloin steak would work since that’s what I have on hand ?
Absolutely!
It cane out delicious
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Desiree!
My family loves this recipe. We tried it with a dark soya sauce, and I don’t recommend.. Came out almost black!
So good! Easy to follow directions, loved the sauce. Will never have to order from my local restaurant.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Hilary!
I made this tonight for my husband’s birthday dinner. I’ve never made beef and broccoli before but I am so glad I found this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly (except I had to use a little more oil because of the type of pan I had available). It was a huge hit. I made a double batch, I look forward to having some for lunch tomorrow.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kim!
Absolutely delicious recipe! Thanks so much! I doubled the sauce and added 2 more tablespoons of brown sugar, the juice of one orange , and about 2-3tablespoons of honey it was perfect ! Also I was in a serious crunch so I used 90sec jasmine rice and steam in a bag broccoli and everything turned out better than the restaurant ❤️
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Please read: DON’T USE REGULAR SOY SAUCE.
I didn’t pay attention and used regular soy sauce and the result was terrible. I couldn’t eat the broccoli because it absorved too much salt. To help, I made some rice without salt and I could eat the meat with it just fine, but it wasn’t a pleasant experience.
I’m giving it four stars because I didn’t like the texture when I put the meat with cornstarch in the pan. It was disgusting, really. Maybe it wasn’t even necessary.
Hi Cassia – I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it. Low sodium soy sauce is essential for this recipe.
I love how easy this meal is to track (and low sugar is a bonus) and is still so delicious! I can’t believe how quick and easy it is to make! Thank you! This is my new go to sauce recipe!
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Taylor!
I made this, used shaved beef from Kroger thinking it would work. It didn’t. Good flavor, terrible texture and consistency.
I’m sorry the recipe didn’t work out for you, Greg.
We always buy our Chinese food. Tonight I tried your recipe. My husband and 19 yr old grandson had multiple servings and said it was better than take out.
It took less time than I thought and was so easy to do. Thank you for sharing.
Love reading this, Cindy! I’m so glad your family enjoyed the recipe!
So so good! Thank you
You are so welcome, Lin! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This was awesome! Like the real thing from a Chinese restaurant. Will definitely make again.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Toni!
I had sirloin steak on hand so I thinly sliced that instead of flank and it was perfect. I added some carrots for extra crunch. This recipe is truly better than takeout. It’s now a house favorite and I’ll have to keep it on rotation!
So happy to read this, Michelle!
Omg this recipe was sooo easy to make and it was really good too. I made it and there was no left overs. I even doubled the recipe for a house of 5 people. This is a recipe I will be using every time! Ty so much for the tips too.
You are so welcome, Kristina!
Just did this on the Blackstone and it was very good. I did use regular soy sauce and would definitely use low sodium. Also will probably add a little more ginger and some red pepper flakes or something else for a little spice. Whole family liked it, thank you for the recipe.
You are so welcome, Philip! I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe!
Definitely as good as or better than takeout! And healthy besides! Who da’ thought?? Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
It was very simple to make and very tasty.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Jeannie!
This recipe is great. I have found that it has very little sauce, so if you like sauce to put on the rice as well I’ve found it better to to double (or triple) the sauce.
Absolutely lovely dish. I made it today for me and my daughter, will definitely be making it again.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sarah!
Overall it was delicious. Not something I’d eat often, but definitely a nice meal to make if I’m craving Chinese food. I didn’t use low-sodium soy sauce, but will definitely opt for low-sodium next time. The soy sauce I used made the dish very salty but with white rice it helped tone it down. Thank you for the recipe!
You are so welcome, Sharon! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, and yes, low-sodium soy sauce is key!
This is a quick and easy recipe. I used a sliced precooked pot roast that I bought at Costco instead of flank steak. Coated the meat as directed. Quickly cooked for 3 minutes on medium heat as to not dry out the meat. Followed the remaining directions.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Cindy!
Great recipe! Thank you!!!
You are so welcome, Kendall! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Amazing flavor, will definitely make again!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Kitty!
My husband loves this. I substituted riced cauliflower for the rice since he is on Keto. He said this is restaurant quality! Easy and delicious! I have made it several times!
Amazing! I’m so happy you and your husband have been enjoying the recipe, Kim!
Loved this dish! Very quick and easy to put together. I used dry ginger but not enough. Thinking of adding mushrooms and shoestring carrots next time.
Those would be delicious additions, Michelle! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Made broccoli beef recipe….excellent n easy to make ….give it 5
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, JoAnne!
This is authentic Chinese restaurant quality food. This is quality food that you prepare at home. Absolutely delicious.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Larry!
Tonight’s dinner. I totally recommend making this for a very easy, delicious, and quick dinner.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Pamela!
Love this recipe. Not a fan of ginger, so I substitute it with a teaspoon of siracha!! Turns out amazing. Thanks
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Cari!
Delicious!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Maria!
Awesome! Because of the diet requirements, I did not serve it with rice, but I doubled the amount of broccoli- it turned out really good.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
really quite good. I added some a few tables spoons oyster sauce and some cayenne to give it an added kick.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jeremy!
Absolutely delicious!!!!
Delish. I pre seasoned the beef before slicing and mixing with the cornstarch. Had this recepie with yellow rice and it turned out amazing.
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Teeshia!
thank you! so easy to adjust for our low sodium and low carb diets, and a great way to get veggies into my hubby!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Karen!
Yummy! Skipped the ginger but turned out amazing!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Stacey!
I made this tonight and added some fresh pineapple to it. I am not crazy about ginger but I wanted to add a zest to it. I did add a dash or two of ginger seasoning. My husband and I both enjoyed the dish, but felt like it needed something else. (I guess more ginger. huh?)
Ginger definitely gives it a boost of flavor!
Very nice, great for a quick weeknight meal, I used left over steak from the weekend, just sliced it up and added to the dish a couple of minutes before it was done.
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Ann!
My family loved it. It was super simple to make and has amazing flavor.
I’m so happy to read this, Tk!
Five stars!! I substituted the beef for tofu and added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce!!! So delicious! Can’t wait to try it with the beef!!!!
Amazing! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Susan!
I substituted the beef for tofu and added a pinch of red pepper seeds to the sauce!!! Delicious!!!!
I did try, and taste soooo yummmmm…. thank u Chef ! Now I share the receipe to my sister
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I’m done with takeout and grocery store beef and broccoli. This recipe was perfect served with sticky rice.
Yessss! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Meghan!
It came out so delicious, my son said it was better then from the restaurant. Thank you so much. I look forward to more recipes from you.
Love reading this, Mercedes! Welcome to Just a Taste!
Have made this 3-4 times now; best beef and broccoli I have had. Very easy to follow recipe. Family loves it❤️
I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe, Mariann!
WOW!!!!!!! Just so delicious!!
Probably the best Beef and Broccoli we have ever had. I’ll never be able to order it at a restaurant again.
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Randy!
I am going to make this recipe. Just wondering if I could use frozen broccoli florets?
Absolutely, Lisa! Just make sure you drain them after they thaw so you don’t have excess water in your sauce. :)
A 5 star recipe is a recipe where I don’t have to make any changes. This is it! This was exactly what I was craving (take out worthy but at home) and super quick to throw together. Perfect for a weekday meal or if you’re short on time and hubby is already on his way home will be adding to the monthly rotation! Thanks Just A Taste!
Double the recipe for leftovers. This made enough for 3 nice size portions.
YESSSS! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Nic!

Great meal and easy to prepare. Taste AMAZING.
Super easy and my family loved it. I’ve added this as a go-to for a quick and easy (and impressive!) dinner on busy work days. I know I’m cooking a great meal for my family instead of just ‘dialing it in’ and cooking just to have something to eat.
Yay! I’m so thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe, Laura!
Made this tonight! I doubled the sauce recipe so I could cook some extra veggies that the rest of the family doesn’t like! We let the onions and added shredded carrots to cook down before adding the broccoli. I cooked mushrooms and snow peas separately and spooned some sauce on them to flavor them. Served with rice noodles. Definitely a hit. No leftovers!!
I’m so glad your family enjoyed the recipe, Jess!
I made a double batch
Does it freeze well?
this recipe works, but didnt taste like take out. I dont know if you skipped seasoning with salt and pepper before frying meat or if it was intentionally not seasoned, but it came out too mild for me. So I added eel sauce after to boost the flavors and salt and pepper. But as far as components, and presentation, and preparation, this is a winner. Very easy, but make sure to season meat.
Thanks for your comment, Eli!
Made it for the first time tonight , it was easy to prepare and quick especially after working all day. Very tasty it is a keeper will make it again . The only problem is there are no leftovers may have to double the recipe next time . Thanks alot for good healthy meal.
Woohoo! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Stephanie!
Perfect in every way! THANK YOU
You are so welcome, Kat! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Very easy and delicious !
I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious!! The best homemade beef and broccoli I’ve ever tasted!! The recipe was so easy to follow too!!
Very good thanks!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
A little too thick for us. I’d use less cornstarch next time and add red pepper flakes for some heat. Also I might add more broccoli a little less meat. For my first time making beef n broccoli good recipe to follow.
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe, Pam!
Pretty good! A must try!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Brittany!
My daughter is allergic to soy, so I omitted the Soy Sauce and used beef broth. Individuals can add soy sauce if they want it. I also put the cooked rice under the beef & broccoli to avoid self-servers skipping the rice. It was GREAT!
Great swap, Linda! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
you should try coconut amminos in place of soy!
Thanks for the rec, Jess!
This was delicious! And even better the next day for lunch! I served it over Jasmine rice. Definitely going into our regular rotation.
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Rachel!
I served over cauliflower rice for a low(er) carb diet, and it was amazing! A fantastic recipe to treat ourselves without ordering in.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Amy!
Amazing! My family loved it! So easy to make and it was quick.
I’m thrilled to read this, Rosetta!
Just made it and I followed every step to a T and it come out amazing.
Family loved it quick and easy
This is absolutely delicious. My favorite dish I’ve ever made from an online recipe.
WOW! I’m so thrilled to read this, Abbie!
The recipe worked great, it turned out wonderful, especially using the low sodium soy sauce, it was delicious
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Bridgette!
East, fast, delicious!
Fast easy and flavorful. A hit with my family.
I’m thrilled to read this, Shelia!
Easy to make! My husband had 2
Servings and he said it was really good (I’m not a good cook at all). Glad I decided to go with this recipe and not the other one I saw online. Will definitely make this again!
Yay! I’m so thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Mary!
Best Beef and Broccoli recipe I’ve tried!! I printed it off so I could make this one every time.
Woohoo! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Maxine!
