Directions
Beef and Broccoli, I got this recipe from my mom. It’s much better than takeout, IMO, since it’s not as greasy and doesn’t hurt my stomach. It tastes just like it though., This recipe was definitely tasty, but if you are looking for the beef and broccoli that you could get at your local Chinese restaurant, keep looking! This was actually more like beef stew with an Asian flair. I can’t say that I didn’t like it as I ate 3 servings by myself. It just wasn’t what I was expecting. My wife also loved it and thought I was being too harsh.That said, it is definitely worth making and you will love the taste., Five stars for flavor, the method/directions rate less. Most of the directions have been corrected since the other reviews, but the last 2 ingredients are still missing from them. Also, the beef burned on the pan in step 7, and was cooked in about a minute. But the taste was great, especially the broccoli (which I cooked a lot less time), though I really liked the mushrooms in it too (used mixed dried mushrooms including shiitakes) – they pair well with the dark soy. I only used 1 of the 5 tablespoons of oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and lots more green onions. Fed 4 for us.
