Better Than Take Out - Beef & Broccoli

Last Updated on October 1, 2013 by Janell

One of my favorite go-to meals is Beef & Broccoli. It's so easy to throw together and I really love meals that have the broccoli already included in the meal. My kids eat more broccoli than beef. I have been playing with some recipes and I saw that some people marinade the meat. So I tried it and it is awesome! It adds so much more flavor.

Try it today and tell me what you think! Pin this recipe.

Beef & Broccoli

First you will marinade the meat for about an hour.

• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 - 1 ½ lbs flank steak, sliced into thin strips

Mix all the ingredients together and marinade the meat in the refrigerator for about an hour. (I admit I don't often let it sit for an hour.)

• 1 bag of frozen broccoli heads
• ½ white onion sliced
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1-2 tablespoon oil
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. When you start preparing to cook the meal, boil the broccoli.
2. Mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch and water. Set aside.
3. In a large frying pan heat the oil and add the garlic, onion, and meat. Cook until the meat is no longer pink.
4. Add the soy sauce mixture and bring to a boil.
5. Drain and add the broccoli. (I usually let the broccoli come to a boil. I like it to have a little crunch to it.)
6. Serve over rice.
