Directions

Beef with Broccoli is a classic Chinese-American dish that blends the bold flavors of stir-fried beef with the fresh crunch of broccoli, all coated in a rich and flavorful sauce. Originating from traditional Chinese cooking techniques, this dish has become a favorite in Chinese restaurants worldwide. The key to achieving restaurant-quality results at home lies in velveting the beef—a simple marination process that keeps it incredibly tender. The sauce, made with oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, delivers a delicious balance of savory, slightly sweet, and umami flavors. Quick to prepare and packed with nutrients, this dish is perfect for busy weeknights while still feeling special enough for a weekend dinner. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal!
