Recipe Tips
- You can use fresh or frozen broccoli; however, if you use frozen, make sure you defrost it first. Otherwise, it will add too much liquid and take forever to cook.
- It is easy to overcook the broccoli. If it goes mushy and a dark color, then the broccoli has been overcooked.
- You can use regular soy, but it may make the sauce a bit too salty. You can always try reducing the amount of normal soy to half and replacing the rest with beef stock or water.
- This dish is super quick to get prepared and cooking. However, if you want to get it ready early, you can do this beef and broccoli dish in the slow cooker.
