Beef and Broccoli


Some of the recipes in Easy Chinese Recipes are poorly laid out, and this is one of them.  On the page on the right is a beautiful picture of the dish, along with an ingredients list.  The following page is the start of the next chapter of the book.  On the previous page is another recipe, however on the right hand side of the previous page are the instructions for how to make this dish.  However, it looks like it could be a continuation of the steps in the previous recipe.

I made a whole broccoli crown and used about half of it in the Stuffed Baked Idaho.  I used the rest of the broccoli on this recipe.  I didn't follow the instructions on how to cook the broccoli since I had already cooked my broccoli.

I also didn't have sesame oil, so I used Canola/vegetable oil.  I don't really like the flavor of sesame anyway, so I figured it wouldn't really hurt.  I also don't like ginger, so I didn't use that either.

The dish was pretty good.  It was rather salty though.  Next time I would use half the amount of soy sauce.

I didn't tenderize the beef since the recipe said that it was an optional step and I was rather hungry.  I used flap meat for this recipe.
