This is a quick and easy dinner that is very tasty too! My friend, Erin, submitted it to a cookbook we compiled a few years ago, and I’m happy that I tried it out. It’s great!
Broccoli Beef
submitted by Erin
¼ c. low sodium soy sauce (I just use regular)
1 T. chunky peanut butter
½ c. water
1 T. cornstarch
2 tsp vinegar
¼ tsp pepper
1/8 tsp powdered ginger
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
2 T. oil
½ lb (or more) diced or cubed beef, chicken, or pork (I’ve tried pork chops & beef)
2 c. broccoli cut into small pieces
steamed rice
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, peanut butter, water, cornstarch, vinegar, pepper, ginger, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and set aside. In large skillet or wok, heat the oil. Add beef and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes. Add the broccoli, and cook for another 3-4 minutes (or until meat and broccoli are almost done), stirring constantly. Add the sauce and mix thoroughly, then continue to stir until the sauce thickens. Serve over steamed rice.

This looks fabulous! I can’t wait to try it. We love broccoli! Thanks for sharing your recipes. I enjoy visiting your site.
I hate broccoli..but I love this recipe! :) I had this at your house and I’m excited to have the recipe. We definitely need to eat more broccoli around our house!!
I love broccoli but not the beef:)
Thank you, thank you! Made this tonight for myself and hubby – he is one happy (stuffed!) camper! It was fabulous! Next time, we’ll try it with chicken instead of beef. Yum!
Umm that looks really good. One of my favorites is broccoli beef. I will let you know how it goes when i make this.
I just came across your blog yesterday and I AM IN LOVE! I made this recipe last night and everyone loved it. My husband said "I definitely want you to make this again".
I am going to make the "individual Potato Gratins" tonight. So glad I found this blog… I am officially addicted.
