I don’t typically eat a lot of meat and tend to lean toward a more plant based diet but I love broccoli beef. I really can’t explain why either. There’s just something about the flavor of the beef and having it mixed with beautiful green broccoli florets. It’s actually one of the few Chinese-inspired dishes that my husband and I can agree on. For him, the spicier the better but I prefer a little (or a lot) less spice. But we both loved this one and can’t wait to have it again! And now there’s no need to order takeout!

October 23, 2014 at 6:53 amI love beef and broccoli when we eat out, but I’ve only attempted to make it once or twice. Your recipe looks great (and I love that it isn’t over complicated.)
