Notes
- Cooking tips for authentic Chinese beef and broccoli:
- Marinate beef for at least 10-15 minutes before cooking.
- Add salt and vegetable oil into boiling water to cook the broccoli, which helps the broccoli's color stay green.
- Don't overcook the broccoli. If it is overcooked, the green color will lost. Cook until it is soft but still green.
- Rinse the broccoli with cold water that can retain the broccoli's beautiful green color.
- We like more sauce for beef and broccoli dishes because they are best served with rice. I add a cup of water. However, if you don't want more sauce, you can reduce the amount of water and cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
