Beef and Broccoli on the Blackstone Griddle

[@markbrownell4890]

Killed it. You hunted it down, killed it, and dragged it out as a trophy. That was a unique cook. It's not drenched in a globular mix of marinated sauce and corn starch like some other methods. "It's clean." Great job.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Mark...thats a spot on review...whole different flavor and mouthfeel when done correctly

[@ryanbrausa4325]

Nice job. Thought I would share a couple of tips that I use. #1, I par cook my broccoli in boiling water to get rid of the woodiness prior to hitting the flattop. #2 I do my sauce in a pan and thicken in a pan with cornstarch slurry at the last minute before tossing with the cooked meat and vegies. I also picked up a Blackstone scoop which is a flat-bottomed grain scoop that expedites getting these smaller pieces off the griddle more efficiently. Happy Cooking!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks for the tips

Used your video recipe last night, turned out amazing, used flank steak, melted in our mouths, good stuff, thanks

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Awesome ....cheers...

[@LouieLou998]

Awesome! I was wondering if you were gonna velvet your beef. It doesn’t seem like it would make a big difference, but it most certainly does. I could never figure out why I couldn’t get the same results as an oriental restaurant until I learned this secret. I always rinse the meat well after marinating in baking soda, and egg whites will produce a similar result. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks bud.....interesting how something so little can make a big difference

[@erokbrewmeister9231]

Beef and broccoli is one of my favorites. Thanks for making it and showing us how easy it really is ! Cheers !

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Awesome...once the sauce is done...its already over ahahaha thanks for commenting

[@Rickety57]

You’re right Neil, super easy. I used 3 dragons stir fry sauce (lazy day) which I thought had good flavor. I mixed in about a tablespoon of the crunchy garlic chili sauce and warmed the rice on the griddle and mixed it all together. 👍👍.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

That’s a great idea! I love those sauces too!

[@jaybooth4815]

That turned out great Neal! Beef and broccoli is one of my favorites! Nice recipe and healthy! Cheers buddy!

My wife and I when we dated a long time ago we would alternate 2 different Chinese food restaurants every Sunday. I became fascinated with the ingredients used to make the dishes. Beef and Broccoli was always a favorite. I found out that the Chinese would make oyster sauce by cooking down the oysters to the point of that ketchup consistency. Of course later companies started bottling it putting their own touch on it. Soy sauce had a light and dark version and was made from soybeans. The darker version was thicker and darker due to longer fermentation, and had added sugar or molasses added to make it less salty. Now as far as the broccoli straight on the griddle top is the way to go as pre boiling or microwaving it will kill about a third of the nutrients. The way you made this dish was spot on. Great Job!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks bud....that interesting in the dark....i knew it was something similar to your explanation but the taste in what we bought just didnt register...is that the brand or the realization that the sauce is not much different

Fantastic job with the beef and broccoli on the flat top. You two work well together with getting these videos out to everyone and they are so healthy. Still looking to get one to start cooking again. Stay safe and keep up the great work and videos and the fun too. Fred.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Fred...I appreciate your time...

Definitely gonna check out that sauce. I do beef and broccoli every time that I do fried rice and it doesn’t last long!

[@michaelboehm2598]

Thanks for knocking out the videos. Love the 20 minute recipe from prep to table! The only thing that could have improved is to have cooked it on the Pit Boss ultimate but I know you’ve got to give the Blackstone viewers some love. LOL

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hahahahhah i hear ya...

[@rodderbob]

Season with a dash of chipotle chili flakes and garnish with green onion stem pieces for a little added pop. Do love how quick and flavorful this dish is when we do it.

I’m so glad you made this dish, because I completely changed my eating habits since July 2022 and it’s a game changer and I had bought my BlackStone for the 4th of July and I thought I would have to hang up my spatula’s but I’ve noticing you are making more healthier meals on the griddle my it family healthy for the rug rats ie. the baby’s, and the teens so we encourage y’all to keep cooking and making great meals !!! Thanks to the FlatTop king 🤴 and Queen 👸✌🏽👌🏾🙏🏾

Thanks Mark....Even when we film alot of times we only eat whats on camera then break it down and take out a lot of the carbs...or we give to her parents...its definitely important to have balance

I love making Beef n Broccoli on the griddle. My recipe is pretty much the same as yours. Turns out great all the time. On a side note, I buy the Frozen Broccoli Florets from Costco and use that versus fresh. They cook up so great on the griddle and ready super quick with a little steam/dome action.

Awesome episode y’all ✊🏼🧐! A lot of people cringe when I mention oyster sauce in my stir fry, or a baste sometimes when I bbq/smoke country style boneless ribs. It just gives it that punch of flavor, and I tell them try it b4 you knock it! I was turned on to oyster sauce from a few longtime Cambodian friends many years ago, and I never looked back since.

Hey i have a members mark 4 burner griddle and even on low it gets up to 375°- 400°, will wind guards help or make it hotter?

You mentioned that temp on low..why not just turn it up to med or high..without wind guards...im not sure if that griddle is set up to allow those..i honestly couldnt tell you

[@ronaldholston2683]

I was saying because your griddle was hitting low 285-315 on low in some of your videos, maybe due to it was cold in your area

[@fusfea]

What did you do with the baking soda sprinkle it on the beef ... I didn't understand that.

[@LouieLou998]

Do a search on KZbin for velveting meats for stir fry. I couldn’t believe how much difference there is in the finished product. It’s what makes oriental restaurants meat so tender and puffy. It can be accomplished with baking soda or egg whites. Definitely a game changer!

[@fusfea]

@@LouieLou998 yeah I read on his website what he did with it ... thanks.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

once added for a few....we rinsed it off...dried the meat...just look up the term Velveting...a lot smarter people can explain it than I can...its a science idea that helps really tenderize the meat

I believe velveting is egg, wine, and corn starch.

yeah there are a few Different methods...

[@randydriver3189]

Why not put a bowl over the broccoli when you pour the sauce over it to help steam it?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

You can....by just adding the liquid when I did it speeds up the cooking time and adds moisture just like a lid....
