More About This Recipe

  • There’s a reason beef and broccoli is a staple at pretty much every Chinese restaurant—it always hits the spot. And we’ve cracked the code to making a DIY version that tastes like the real thing. (Seriously, this sauce!) All you need to make this tonight is a skillet, and you definitely have one of those. We’ve made this for dinner over and over, and can vouch that it really is as easy as it looks. Hungry for more? We’re big fans of this copycat orange chicken recipe, too.
