This delicious 15-minute beef and broccoli recipe is so delicious you will want to eat every single bite all by yourself. Skip the Chinese restaurant and make this version for yourself.

I love Chinese food. It is one of my favorite foods on the planet. One of my favorite dishes is beef and broccoli stir fry. This easy beef dinner is so full and satisfying. This dish has become a family favorite and it's a great way to take a cut of meat and stretch it to fit the budget.

Whenever we have Chinese takeout night at home, I make a huge spread that includes Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken with a homemade sweet and sour sauce, as well as a couple of my favorite stir fries.

Of course, we also have delicious homemade fried rice and these fun homemade fortune cookies. Then, we fry up a batch of these egg rolls to dip in our sweet and sour sauce.

If you are not a fan of traditional egg rolls, then this egg roll stir fry may be more to your liking. You can also just make a mixed vegetable stir fry if you prefer it without meat.

Sometimes I make General Tso's Chicken and then we always have these yummy Fried Cream Cheese Wontons and a batch of my Chinese Sweet Biscuits.

We love having takeout Chinese food at home and this beef and broccoli dish is no different. Tender strips of beef in a beautiful sauce and tender broccoli makes the perfect dinner.

How to make 15 Minute Beef and Broccoli

The trick to making this a 15-minute meal is how thin you get your ribeye steak shaved.

I like using a ribeye steak because it is very tender. I have used sirloin steak but it is not as tender. Just be sure to trim the fat pieces off of your steak before searing in your skillet. Other cuts of steak that could be used are flank steak, flat iron steak, or skirt steak.

If you do not have time to slice your steak, you can have the butcher do it. It takes about 15 minutes to shave the steak, so if you do this earlier in the day, it will save time. If not, you can still have this meal on the dinner table in 30 minutes or less.

If you slice your steak earlier in the day and let it sit in the marinade until you are ready to cook it, then all you will have to do is take it right out of the fridge and put it right into the pan.

The meat cooks and sears in sesame oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet for about 9-10 minutes. Then you add in the broccoli florets and the sauce components and let it keep cooking for about 4-5 minutes to let the broccoli cook a bit. The brown sugar in the sauce adds a little sweetness but also helps caramelize the beef.

If you like bell peppers, you can also add thin slices for another veggie option.

You could even make this a fun Chinese night at home and theme it up with these fun takeout boxes I found on Amazon. Buy some cool Light Saber chopsticks and then serve on these Chinese dinner plates.

Other Variations of This Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe

Change up the sauce by using hoisin sauce and soy sauce with brown sugar and garlic instead of the sauce in the recipe. It makes the perfect quick and easy stir fry sauce.

This dish can also be made as a slow cooker beef and broccoli recipe as well and it is just as delicious as the stovetop version! Add all the components in with fresh garlic and fresh ginger for a super easy slow cooker meal. It's perfect for those who love to meal prep.

I like to serve mine topped with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, red pepper flakes, and a side of fried rice, jasmine rice, or brown rice.

Store the rest in an airtight container for leftovers the next day.
