Even though our family doesn’t eat much red meat, somehow I’ve got a little carnivore on my hands. Scary as it sounds, Chloe could probably down a pound of beef in one sitting. She’s obsessed – and this Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry is now one of our go-to weeknight meals that she LOVES.

Since Chloe is such a steak and red meat lover, I’m trying to base more recipes on it. This one pairs two of Chloe’s favorites: broccoli and beef. It’s a great last minute weeknight meal because chances are you already have most of the ingredients in your pantry, and there’s next to no preparation. Just marinade the beef anywhere from 20 minutes to overnight and then 10 minutes or so before you’re ready to eat, grab your pan and you can have this delectable, Chloe-approved Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry on the table.

  1. I was looking for something to make for kiddos tonight using the thin pork chops and I am going to try this recipe.

  2. I steamed the broccoli separately as well. My daughter does not like the hard stems if not! I also cubed the meat into small pieces then slow cooked it by itself for three hours. Turned out perfect for my family!

  3. This is a fast and easy recipe to make for dinner. I steamed the broccoli for a few minutes before putting it in the pan because we like our broccoli more on the soft side rather than the crunchy side. Turned out wonderful!

  4. I’m Chinese, so stir fries are a staple. But I like your ratios of sauce, so I make this with chicken all the time for my toddler, and it turns out great! But it does cook faster if you cut the chicken up into small pieces – 2-3 minutes cook time is exactly the amount of time I use as well.

  5. Hmm I think chicken would probably work! Slice it thin just like you would the steak. It will cook faster. So remove it from the pan once it is cooked through, probably 2-3 minutes! Let me know how it comes out!

  6. It means to push the ingredients out of the way so that you’re pouring the sauce onto the pan itself instead of directly on top of everything in the pan! 🙂
