A staple to American Chinese cuisine, beef and broccoli capitalizes on the ease of a wok. It usually features flank steak stir-fried with broccoli, with a delicious sauce holding everything together. Sweet and savory, the sauce is the sort of thing you want to mop up with broccoli heads.
This recipe for Chinese shredded beef and broccoli switches things up a bit. Instead of flank steak, use tender strips of shredded beef. And for your sauce, nothing but real ingredients. Like stock, fish sauce, orange zest, and orange juice. If you can, get in the habit of making your own stock. You’ll find more flavor in your sauces. Not to mention more good things for your health.
The best part: If you have all your ingredients on hand — specifically some leftover slow cooker shredded beef — you can whip this dish up in less than 20 minutes.
