If you are looking for an easy and delicious meal to make tonight, look no further than this authentic beef and broccoli recipe! Unlike the typical American Chinese takeout version, this dish is flavored with a touch of satay sauce and fish sauce. Both are popular ingredients in Teochew cuisine. As for the vegetable component, locals like to use Chinese broccoli, also known as gai lan (or jie lan in Mandarin), which adds a unique mustard flavor and a slight sweetness. But don’t worry, you can easily substitute regular broccoli if needed.

Ingredient Tips
I recommend using sirloin, ribeye, flank steak, chuck, or top round for this recipe
Satay sauce adds a nutty and umami taste to the dish. If you don’t have it, replace it with XO sauce or Thai-style shrimp paste.
Non-alcohol replacements for Chinese cooking wine vary from recipe to recipe. For this particular dish, you can use the same amount of beef stock.
