    Chinese Beef and Broccoli

    This easy Chinese beef and broccoli stir fry recipe is a staple in many Asian households for good reason! It’s packed with flavour thanks to the glossy oyster stir fry sauce and beef marinade. In addition, it’s quick to make for a weeknight meal and simple enough to make as a crowd pleaser.

    Chinese Beef and Broccoli

    Easy & Quick

    This Chinese beef broccoli stir fry recipe is super fast and easy to make as everything is cooked in one wok or pan! In fact, once you make it the first time, you won’t even want to get takeout anymore as it’s most cost effective and simple to make it at home! This whole recipe comes together in just 30 minutes or less!

    Tender beef!

    The beef is also so tender, pairing deliciously with the crunchy broccoli. A perfect partner to steamed white rice. This will be the best Chinese beef and broccoli recipe you’ve ever tried! To get the beef tender, I share a common Chinese marinating ingredient that gets the beef super tender. This technique is called velveting and it requires the usage of baking soda.
