Beef And Broccoli

  • This recipe turned out absolutely amazing! I've been wanting to work on Chinese recipes and I found a recipe close to what I wanted on Pinterest. I did a few modifications and it was perfect.


 

Ingredients: 

  • 2 pound Flank Steak, sliced thin
  • 6 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 4 Tbs Olive Oil

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 6 Tbs Cornstarch
  • 2 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
  • 8 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Directions:

    • Prep the steak by trimming off fat and slicing into thin bite-size pieces. 
    • Prep the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk together thoroughly.
    • Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a large skillet over high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.
    • Add the broccoli and cook for 4-5 minutes, tossing often. 
    • Transfer it to a bowl.
    • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Layer the beef spread out a little and leave it for a minute. 
    • Flip it with cooking tongs and cook it for another minute or so. Cook to a little rare.
    • Add the broccoli back to the pan and pour the sauce in. 
    • Stir until coated and the sauce has thickened (about 1-3 minutes).
    • Serve over rice.
    • Serves 8.


                  Enjoy!

Delicious Quick Chili Variation

 We had a cooler snap after a wonderful rainfall so I decided to take the opportunity to make chili. Okay, so maybe it was more like I defrosted ground beef and forgot to do anything with it until it was almost time for people to come home.

I was thinking about chili but decided to try something different. The family seemed happy with the change. This one wasn't far off from the family favorite but had a few modifications done to it.



Ingredients:

2 lbs Ground Beef
1 Onion, finely diced
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
3 (14.5oz) cans Diced Tomatoes
1 (15oz) can Kidney Beans
1 (15oz) can Pinto Beans
1 can Green Chili Peppers
1 (8oz) can Tomato Sauce
1 cup Water
2 Tbs Chili Powder
2 Tbs White Sugar
1 Tbs Ground Cumin
1 Tbs Salt
1 Tbs Hot Pepper Sauce
1 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Directions:

  • Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot pot until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  • Add onion and garlic to beef and cook until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in diced tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, chili peppers, tomato sauce, water, chili powder, sugar, cumin, salt, hot pepper sauce, and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Serves 6.

           Enjoy!
