Beef and broccolic recipe using a black been premade sauce and a hunk of bottom blade roast

Here's a simple beef and broccoli recipe using a pre-made black bean sauce and a bottom blade roast. This recipe serves 4 and takes about 45 minutes to prepare, including marinating time.

### Ingredients

- 1 lb (450g) bottom blade roast, thinly sliced against the grain

- 1 lb (450g) broccoli florets

- 3 tbsp pre-made black bean sauce (e.g., Lee Kum Kee brand)

- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, for extra umami)

- 1 tbsp cornstarch

- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)

- 1 tbsp sesame oil

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1-inch piece ginger, minced

- 1 small onion, sliced

- 2 tbsp water or beef broth

- 1 tsp sugar (optional, to balance flavors)

- Cooked rice, for serving

### Instructions

1. **Marinate the Beef**: In a bowl, combine thinly sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp black bean sauce, and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

2. **Blanch the Broccoli**: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and blanch for 1-2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and set aside.

3. **Cook the Beef**: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Remove beef and set aside.

4. **Stir-Fry Aromatics**: In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil and sesame oil. Sauté garlic, ginger, and onion for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. **Combine Ingredients**: Return the beef to the wok. Add the remaining 2 tbsp black bean sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), water or beef broth, and sugar. Stir well to coat the beef.

6. **Add Broccoli**: Toss in the blanched broccoli and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. The sauce should thicken slightly and cling to the beef and broccoli.

7. **Serve**: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (more soy sauce or black bean sauce for saltiness). Serve hot over cooked rice.

### Notes

- **Slicing Tip**: For easier slicing, partially freeze the bottom blade roast for 20-30 minutes to firm it up.

- **Black Bean Sauce**: Pre-made sauces vary in saltiness; taste before adding extra soy sauce.

- **Optional Additions**: Add sliced bell peppers or carrots for extra veggies, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.

Enjoy your beef and broccoli stir-fry! Let me know if you need tips for substitutions or side dishes.

AI recipes make for a good cooking assistant that tailors for your ingredients you enter in one response. I started using Grok the past few meals and they've come out quite well.

It's nice to not have to skim through all the extra SEO descriptions and ads on food blogs. I also don't have to spend the time browsing 3 or 4 top Google recipes to see which one fits best.

Here's tonight's beef and broccoli that I added some extras peppers and other garnishes I had.

Yeah it's actually made with pretty simple ingredients but prepared well in a nice balance of flavours. There was, fat from the pork belly and fried egg, and I added the beef cheek marmalde from the bone marrow appetizer to my burger.. a trick I learned from my friend who introduced this place to me. The combination of us not having to wait the typical 1hr + for a spot, the dim and lively atmosphere, watching them cooking 50 of these burgers at a time while I enjoyed the delicious food before we went to the Bulls/Raptors game is what make it great.

Cool! I visited Japan when I was a kid in the 90s. I've been exploring more Japanese recipes. I made Okonomiyaki the other day came out good. Also did beef udon noodle with Yakisoba sauce I bought from a Japanese store.

These Japanese street food videos have been peaking my interest. https://youtu.be/G-GNq4Yws7Y?si=Ae4YWwoxJBuqXQWr

Apple tree is blooming! Can smell the fresh pollen and hear all the bumble bees buzzing. #spring #blossom #appletree #spring

Thanks for the info. Yes, I've seen the scabs before for a couple of seasons..

It says in text from your book if left untreated can lead to black rot. Which maybe my case.

Can you send me the picture of what it says about black eating chapter 18?

I also lost two older pear trees to firelight 5 years ago so that could have spread. Although the apples look pretty healthy with a few scabs and aren't going scorched black like the pears did.

It appears on all the cuts and around dead branches. On the main trucks as well.

I'm trying to determine what my apple tree has.. and how to treat it if it's not too far gone. I think it's black rot. It has been getting worst over the last few years, especially around the cuts.

Gm,

Espresso Machiatto in my new cup from Dominicna Republic. The family had a great time in Punta Cana for March break. People were awesome and good was fantastic.

Apparently there are many canadian that live or snow bird there. Need to start considering options to spent more time outside of Canada if things don't shape up this election.

When you're wedding ring goes missing for over a month and you magically spot it shinning brilliantly in the middle of the road. You can't help but think this world is mysteriously glorious.

It was lost on a huge mountain of snow on one of those days we had to clear it multiple times. Our neighborhood came together to clear drivewats for the elderly and new parents. I was thinking that day how much I appreciate the neighbors that help clear my mothers driveway without ever being asked.

Wild how the universe works when you pay it forward, things seems to turn up in your favour.

Welcome Lindz! So good to see you here.😃

Au Cheval in Chicago. One of the best burgers I've ever had! The bone marrow with beef cheek marmalade was also fantastic. I will be back there for sure.
