Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry (Thit Bo Xao Bong Cai Xanh)
Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry (Thịt Bò Xào Bông Cải Xanh)
Long days call for Chinese takeout. They are quick, delicious and often inexpensive. One of my favorite Chinese-American takeouts is the beef and broccoli. I usually get a large order to go and have it with steamed white rice for a quick family meal at home on my lazy days.
Beef and broccoli stir fry (thit bo xao bong cai xanh) is a classic stir fry made with thinly sliced beef sirloin and fresh broccoli florets, coated in a thick savory soy-based sauce. The beef is tender and silky. The broccoli is perfectly crunchy. Together they make a well-balanced tasty meal in a bowl.
The great thing about this dish is that it tastes more amazing the next day as the flavor seeps in. So, do yourself a favor and double the recipe. Leftovers are great for a next-day lunch or dinner.
