Beef with Broccoli

This beef with broccoli dish reminds me of my cousin’s mom who is a great cook. She cooks delicious, authentic Chinese dishes, which she learned from her mother-in-law. One of her specialties is beef with broccoli, which I thought was a difficult and tedious dish to make. I was wrong!

Beef with broccoli is a simple and easy to follow recipe. It is one of those dishes that I would cook when I am pressed for time. It consists of strips of beef simply marinated in soy sauce, rice wine and cornstarch. It is then sautéed with garlic and broccoli. Oyster sauce is added to flavor this dish. It is best served with steamed rice. Yummy! 😀
