The Best Easy Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Stir-Fries

I clipped this recipe from Taste of Home magazine several years ago and have found it to be the best-tasting easy beef and broccoli stir-fry. It is credited to Ruth Stahl. I often use charcoal chuck steak, which is very tender and lean. I also like that it doesn't call for any unusual ingredients.

    I subbed fresh mushrooms for the onion and this came out as one of the best tasting dishes I've made! However, unless you have all your meat and veggies precut this takes way longer than 15 minutes active time

    Easy to make and a great success. It was a little bit bland for us so I added a finely chopped chilli and the juice of half a lime. Everybody loved it.

    flavor not zesty enough...seemed at little mild. I had a recipe for this that I had a long time ago and loved, just not the same.

    I make this all the time! It's better than you can buy at any restaurant. I sometimes add carrot to mine! A must try!

    Really good, but needs more gravy & some salt. I used low salt soy sauce & it wasn't salty enough. Adding this one to my favorites.

    I loved this recipe! My kids ate it and it was so easy to make. Only 4 stars because my beef came out a little tough.

    My boyfriend and I liked this recipe- I added a splash of beef broth to the veggies and beef when I combined them all together to add a bit more liquid. Delicious and easy!
