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!

This was a huge hit at our house tonight, even with picky eaters. It will definitely be on repeat- super simple and delicious, perfect with rice. I didn’t have sriracha so I used chili garlic sauce and it turned out fantastic.
Best recipe for Beef & Broccoli I have ever used!! thank you!!! dinner was a smashing success tonight!
Nice and easy! Great taste too! Will definitely make it again.
This was super good. I had a 2 pound london broil so I doubled the sauce. I also blanched the broccoli first. It was super delicious but a tad sweet. Next time I make it I will cut the honey and sugar in half. I think it would also be terrific with chicken rather than beef. Even Shrimp??? Yum! Awesome. Its a keeper.
Wow, this is amazing! I never comment but this was just too amazing. I was so proud of myself that I actually cooked something that tasted better than restaurant quality. I also added in lo mein and snap peas and used teriyaki beef instead of flank steak. Delicious! My whole family enjoyed!
This is the BEST broccoli beef that my husband and I have ever had in our lives! There are so many bad recipes out there for everything, even on big name platforms like Food Network, Martha Stewart, etc. I usually end up patching together recipes and adding more spices to make something decent out of what I find online, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I made it as-is and it was amazing!
I love this recipe. I use “beef for carne picada” from aldi. It is already cut up. It makes this easy recipe even easier. Thank you for all your recipes. I love your website.
I have made broccoli beef sevral times. My husband asked what I did different. I said it was just a different reciepe. He asked me to throw away the other receipe I will and check out the others on this site. Thank you . I don’t know why I love to cook and get compliments but it rally makes my day.
Soooo good!!! My toddler loves it, my husband loves it, and I love it. Definitely will make again!
Best dish ever full of flavors and delicious for the family
I literally just finished making this recipe (9/16/20) and it was AMAZINGGGGG!!!! I cannot wait to make this again. My 16 year old son loved it. It’s so good and the measurements are perfect. Thank you!!!!
Thanks for this awesome recipe. I made it today and it was a great hit in our house. I followed the recipe except I used teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce because i didn’t have soy sauce and left out the vinegar. Since i used teriyaki sauce it came out thick consistency just like we buy in the take out. But I wonder how it would taste with soy sauce. So I’am surely making it again with soy sauce and I will come back with another review.
Very tasty, but only need half the amt of sauce. Threw in mushrooms and red peppers because we needed to use them up. Its in the rotation now. No need to order out ever again.
Damn good!!!
I’m not one to post anything. But this recipe was delicious. I’m not much of a meat eater but the sauce with the rice and broccoli was wonderful. My husband left not one bite of steak. He said so tender he could cut it with a fork. Passing on to my son who also loves to cook. And thanks for all the free recipes
I tried this and loved it. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe with me.

A great recipe! And, I LOVE “easy” & “quick”! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to prepare this for my husband.
So delicious! I followed the recipe, minus Sriracha as I didn’t have it, except I put my beef strips in the sauce while I was cutting it. After it was all cut and in the sauce I heated up my pan and quickly sauteed the beef strips in two batches. I did end up using only about half of the sauce for this meal, but it was so good I am buying more beef to make it again! The sauce thickened nicely as I only cooked what was with the strips I pulled out of the sauce. So bood!
Very good. I substitute coconut aminos for the soy sauce, and coconut palm sugar for the brown sugar. Used grass fed skirt steak since they didn’t have flank. Made it all organic, served over brown rice. Delicious. I too needed to add additional thickener, as it was not thickening at all.
