**Beef with broccoli**, a classic Chinese-American dish, is a stir-fry made with tender beef, crisp broccoli florets, and a flavorful sauce. This popular dish is commonly found in Chinese restaurants and takeout menus, and it's also a favorite among home cooks. The beef is typically marinated in a savory mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch, then stir-fried until tender. The broccoli is added to the pan and cooked until crisp-tender. The sauce, made with a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch, is poured over the beef and broccoli, creating a delicious and flavorful coating. This recipe provides instructions for making an authentic and flavorful beef with broccoli dish from scratch. It includes tips for choosing the right cut of beef, marinating the beef, and achieving the perfect balance of flavors in the sauce. Additionally, the recipe offers variations for those who prefer a spicier or vegetarian version of the dish.

BEEF AND BROCCOLI
Steps:
- Microwave the broccoli in a glass bowl covered with plastic wrap (holes poked for ventilation), about 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and baking soda. Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips and add it to your marinade. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes, or as long as overnight in the refrigerator.
- In a separate small bowl, stir together the stock, rice wine, oyster sauce and remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Heat a wok or large skillet on high heat and add the oil. When a wisp of white smoke appears, toss the marinated beef and garlic into the pan. Cook for about 1 minute, continually moving the beef so it browns on all sides but is still rare. Once the beef is seared, add the broccoli and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the sauce and keep it all moving. Don't be afraid to scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan before they start to burn. Once the sauce has turned into a nice thick glaze, about 1 minute, serve immediately.

I've had this recipe for years. It's a great way to use leftover beef or you can buy an inexpensive cut and do it from scratch. My kids love it because of the soup. Tenderize the steak with a mallet prior to cooking, if desired.

THE BEST EASY BEEF AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
I clipped this recipe from Taste of Home magazine several years ago and have found it to be the best-tasting easy beef and broccoli stir-fry. It is credited to Ruth Stahl. I often use charcoal chuck steak, which is very tender and lean. I also like that it doesn't call for any unusual ingredients.

BEEF AND BROCCOLI
Here is a streamlined, powerfully flavorful recipe for a delivery-food standby: velvety wok-fried beef in a oyster-soy sauce, served in a forest of green. ''It's diaspora food,'' the chef Jonathan Wu told me, describing the cooking of Chinese immigrants to the United States and a dish that is almost unknown in China but beloved in America. The recipe is a version of the one Wu's mother made for dinner when he was growing up outside Hartford, Conn., with a little chile-garlic paste added for zip and, thanks to the Brooklyn chef Dale Talde, a pat of butter swirled into the sauce at the end. This provides a plush gloss that is far better than the traditional cornstarch slurry. It is midweek family cooking at its best.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the wine, 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce and the cornstarch. Add the beef to the bowl, and toss to combine, then cover the bowl, and set aside for 20 minutes or so.
- To make the sauce, combine in a small bowl the remaining soy sauce, the oyster sauce and the chile-garlic sauce, and mix to combine, then add a tablespoon of water and mix again. Set aside.
- Heat the 1/2 cup of oil in a wok set over high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add about half the beef to the wok, and stir-fry until it is browned and crisp and barely cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or plate, and set aside. Then repeat with remaining beef.
- Pour off the oil in the wok, wipe it out with a towel and return it to the stove over high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon oil, and swirl it around and heat it until it is smoking. Add the broccoli and cook, tossing and stirring frequently, until lightly charred in spots, about 2 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons water to the wok, and toss and stir the broccoli in the steam for an additional 2 minutes, then return beef to the wok, followed by the sauce. Cook, stirring and tossing frequently, for 30 seconds or so, then add the butter, and stir and toss again for 30 seconds more. Serve immediately, with rice.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients ahead of time: This will help you save time and ensure that everything is ready when you start cooking.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, tender beef and crisp, flavorful broccoli.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the beef and broccoli, make sure to do it in batches if necessary. If you overcrowd the pan, the food will steam instead of sear and won't have as much flavor.
- Use a good quality sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Make sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweet and savory flavors.
- Serve over rice or noodles: Beef with broccoli is traditionally served over rice or noodles. This helps to soak up the delicious sauce and makes the dish more filling.
