Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

[@bill-hunter]

What I like abou about your channel, Rik, we get plenty of bang for our buck. You teach us loads of simple recipes with your own twist here and there, but the huge bonus is the entertainment value. You always leave me smiling like the proverbial Cheshire Cat😊

Some folks don't know that almost all brassica leaves are edible. Rutabaga (Swede) being one of the best tasting. Most gardeners chuck them into the compost pile...NOOOO lol. A big pot of rutabaga and collard greens (or even nettles) boiled up with a ham hock and onions/spices, dumped over a piece of cornbread is life changing. I agree, don't waste the broccoli stem, it's actually the best part. I'm a frugal cook, can you tell :) There is no clear origin of "Waste not, want not" but the wisdom is obvious. All that said...this is a good dish, thanks Rik.

Broccoli and cauliflower stems are wonderful. I also always cook the heart of cabbage. It seems that the flavor of those is even more concentrated. Not familiar with the cuts over there, I'm thinking a nice chuck roast would work just fine. The dish looks wonderful! I've tried and failed more than once. Really believe I'll find success in the future. Thanks Chef!

I agree.. My kids love them too

[@pixie3760]

This has come at the perfect time. I actually made it a few weeks ago, I used scotch fillet steak. It was all very tender and tasty, but I just felt like it was missing something. "The Girls " enjoyed it but this looks much nicer. I worked in a Chinese restaurant for a couple of years , but dear lord it was loud, I only worked the kitchen for about 8 months, and I told them that I needed service experience..I praised the heavens they allowed it. I loved waitressing, they made me Hostess so I was in charge...keep in mind I'd never served a table in my life before this, but it was a lot less noisy so I was very keen to learn how to serve and direct the girls and fella that worked there, even balancing the till at the end of the night I found relaxing, and I loved chatting to our clients. They were great employers....just loud!! 😂

[@BackyardChef]

Very loud kitchens and very loud if you all go out for a meal - I loved it though! It gave me experience and the courage to change the standard dishes. I had a great teacher Sang. Long long ago now! Thanks for sharing your memories liked reading. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@telebubba5527]

It's a delicious dish, that I make quite frequently. Because without the rice it fits in perfectly with the low carb diet that I'm following at the moment. For me the ginger and garlic and also the red chili are an absolute must!

Broccoli in a stir fry is so good and it's great to see you use the stalks, and as you said contain lots of goodness (and no waste). Sometimes have raw broccoli in a salad which is great and something I learned from the Americans who have it in their salads. Lovely with some French or other dressing drizzled over it.

I'm going out to the kitchen right now to try this one! I think I'll add a bit of onion as well. Okay, I did it! made a few changes, as we were out of a few items, but it turned out well! I was especially interested in the baking soda tenderizing the beef - it did exactly as you told us, Rik! And this was the first time I've used Oyster Sauce in my final serving sauce, and it was excellent as well! This recipe/technique is going into my keeper file! By the way, I'm a believer in Graham Kerr's philosophy that a recipe and technique is really a springboard to bigger and better things, and is meant as a guide to learning as much as a guide to a unique dish.

Just made this largely following your video and it turned out absolutely awesome, all I did differently (apart from going much easier on the ginger) was add sesame seeds instead of just the sesame oil and threw in a bunch of roughly chopped snow pea pods as well at the frying stage.

Rik, I'm not familiar with the term "topside". Do you know what that cut is called in the States? I have a top round London broil in the fridge as we speak, and its what I'd typically use for stir fry. (It's less expensive than flank or sirloin.) Love beef with broccoli, and have all the ingredients on hand (including shaioxing AND fino sherry). Another yummy one!

[@davidmurphy816]

I’m quite sure they are the same cut Patricia, recall following a recipe a few years back that called for top round ct beef & my Scottish butcher advised I used topside. Good luck with your stir fry & enjoy your meal. 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Topside meat is commonly known as "top round" in the USA. This cut comes from the inner thigh of the cow, which is part of the round section. It is a lean cut of beef and is often used for roasting, making beef jerky, or slicing into thin pieces for sandwiches. Thank you. Best, Rik
