Easy Beef and Broccoli
The BEST and EASIEST beef and broccoli made in 15 min from start to finish. And yes, it’s quicker, cheaper and healthier than take-out!
Ever since we moved to Hollywood, Jason and I have been ordering delivery several times a week. There are tons of fun restaurants we’re just dying to try out but once we get home, we’re just too tired to leave the house again. Plus, Butters makes it really difficult for us to leave.
But as convenient as delivery is, I just can’t keep waiting 60-90 mins for them to come! Plus, the food is always cold by the time it hits our table. So when I had a beef and broccoli craving the other day – a craving I have at least once a week – I just had to try Carrian’s easy version of this.
And yes, it really is the EASIEST beef and broccoli I have ever made! The slow cooker version of mine is great too, perfect for when you work an 8 hr day, but this – this is on your dinner table in 15 minutes, and this includes the prep time! But don’t be fooled by the easiness of the recipe – it’s just as flavorful and tasty, if not better, than take-out!

So good! Love the flavor of the sauce.
Very good, my family loves it. Quick and easy although I am wondering what the calories and nutritional values are of this.
Love your recipes! So many nowadays have cream cheese and sour cream, all of which are not tolerated by some members of our family. I have not made this yet, but will definitely do so for our family dinner night. Thank you!
I’ve made this recipe at least fourty times over the past few years. Its a dinner staple in our house, so much so that I hardly even use the recipe anymore. As someone that alters everything, Ive never changed a thing in this recipe because its perfect as is. Thank you so much for a recipe I’ll be using for many years to come!
This is one of our favorites. Everyone in the house loves ❤️ it. Healthier, tastier and of course, damn delicious.
Beautiful recipe, made me feel like a chef with something new. Thank you for sharing
Fabulous
So easy and delicious!!

That was delicious! Thanks!!!
Really tasty recipe! Easy and delicious. However, there was too much soy sauce for our taste. I’d probably do 1/2C. of soy sauce versus the 2/3, and make up for the volume with a little more chicken broth to boost the flavor. The amount of soy sauce covers up the flavor of all of the other wonderful spices.
Perfect. Made it exactly as is other than couldn’t find flank steak so used sirloin. I simply love that I can find all the ingredients for most of your recipes at Walmart or other local store. My two teens and husband agreed this one is a keeper.
I seared the broccoli first and marinated the meat, since I was cooking with venison and it can get tough quickly. I also added a dash of allspice and red wine. It was delicious and so easy! Thanks!
I made this tonight using leftover sirloin steak and it was delicious! Hubby said better than take-out! I love Asian cooking and this is my go-to recipe from now on!!
Wonderful! I made this today and the only thing I changed was I used frozen broccoli because that is all I had on hand. I partially stir fried the broccoli first because it was frozen – from there I followed the recipe exactly. This recipe is most definitely a keeper. Thank you!
Loved this! And what an easy way to make it! The sauce is delicious with just enough heat and it makes plenty of sauce . I like to steam the broccoli just a bit before I throw it in the pan to finish it off. This is my new go to Beef and Broccoli recipe…I have tossed the one I used to use!
Best recipe ever it’s a staple at my home . I add mushrooms and green onions ! Use any cut of beef
We tried with a different cut of beef and Al thought the family loves this recipe they did not like me changing the meat. Stick with flank steak thinly sliced and never go wrong
Delicious! The only thing I did differently was to leave out the sesame oil, (I didn’t have any on hand) and increased the Sriracha. My whole family loved it.
OMG! This broccoli and beef are life! I followed the recipe to the T and my family loved it! I will definitely be making this again.
Amazingly tasty! New meal for every weekend
Soooooo delicious and much better than take-out. I made the recipe as written and it came out perfect. The sauce amount and sweetness were perfect too. This will be a weeknight staple!
