Move ahead with us to learn the detailed recipe of beef & broccoli, the ingredients breakdown, serving ideas, and storage tips. 

What Is Beef & Broccoli Recipe? 

Wondering how to make the perfect Beef & Broccoli recipe? You first need to know its basics. In this recipe, both flank and sirloin steaks work fine, however, I’ll be using flank cut. These round cuts are lean and can be easily cut into ultra-thin strips which will be tenderized via its flavourful sauce.

This stir-fry delicacy doesn’t get overcooked if that’s what you were wondering. It stays crisp and brown with its broccoli florets giving a nice crunch and flavor that will definitely water your mouth.

Don’t be thrifty while adding garlic, as it will make your recipe a perfection. The kidney beans and sweet potatoes will impart a delicious nutty, mushy flavor, and when baked, are absolutely divine!

If you want to give it a tinge of sweetness, you can add some brown sugar, but I haven’t added it. It goes perfectly both ways though.

Ingredients In Beef & Broccoli

Want to give it a nice restaurant-worthy appeal, then I recommend you use premium ingredients with appropriate ratios. Here’s I have an ingredients breakdown for you that will make your beef & Broccoli an absolute treat. 

Beef: Make a round cut of beef, preferably a flank cut, and pound it. You can hammer it down as well and then make fine strips. 

Sweet Potatoes: One of my favorite things. I can eat steamed or baked sweet potatoes all day long without getting tired of it. Here in beef & Broccoli, it imparts a nice, flavourful touch. 

Scallions: A Salad is never wholesome without a portion of scallions, so adding this portion of the fiber in beef & Broccoli will make it delectable. 

Canola Oil: Keeping your fat intake in check, we are adding this vegetable oil.

Chipotle Peppers: Want some heat into your dish? Add some canned Chipotle peppers that will impart spicy yet perfect flavor.

Tomatoes: Add tomato puree into your beef & Broccoli recipe that just elevates the flavor profile along with other spices and seasonings including salt and pepper.

Sour Cream: It gives your dish a rich and it will also thicken your gravy. 

Kidney Beans: An extra portion of protein never hurts and if it’s plant-based, then perfect! It also imparts a nutty flavor. 

Broccoli: It will be obviously required, you can add a pound of broccoli florets.
