Recipe: Crazy Good Beef and Broccoli by Julia on Savory Tooth website (https://www.savorytooth.com/beef-broccoli/)
This week I decided to make beef and broccoli with rice. I found myself craving Asian food this weekend, so that's what I decided to make. Here a picture of the final product:
I had to cut up the meat, coat it in corn starch, and fry it in a pan. Then I had to cook the broccoli and garlic, make the sauce, and mix everything together. While I was doing all of this, I also cooked a pot of rice. It was a pretty straightforward recipe, and I was THRILLED with the result. It tastes better than any beef and broccoli I've ever gotten in a Chinese restaurant.
It was an interesting experience for me because I've never cooked slabs of raw beef before (just ground beef), so it was a new experience for me to figure out how to work with it and figure out when it was fully cooked. Here is a picture of all of the ingredients I used, before I started cooking (you can see the raw meat at the bottom of the picture):
One thing I probably would do differently next time is to add more broccoli. I always forget that vegetables tend to shrink when you cook them, so I didn't use quite enough broccoli to balance out the beef. Nonetheless, it still tasted great!
Also, the pantry staple I ended up using was canola oil. This was used when frying the beef in the pan.
