Chinese Restaurant Style Beef Teriyaki Recipe
This is my recipe for Chinese restaurant style beef and broccoli stir fry that can be made with gluten free ingredients. It is made with tender cooked steak and finished off with a delicious, savory, creamy sauce. You can have this meal on the table in about 30 minutes therefore you can skip the takeout restaurant!
Have you ever had that classic beef and broccoli stir fry from your local Chinese takeout restaurant? Or maybe you have had the classic chicken and vegetables, one of my favorites. Well, this recipe is exactly that. If you are new around here, one of my specialities is recreating takeout dishes. Have you tried my famous sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, sesame chicken or general tso chicken? Well you need to! But, this is the recipe for Chinese restaurant style beef and broccoli, still a classic and amazing copycat recipe.
I also made this beef and broccoli with gluten free ingredients but you do not have to. Chinese style recipes can be so difficult to get as a gluten intolerant or someone with celiac. This will taste just like the real deal and you will never know a difference!
What Do You Need To Make Chinese Style Beef and Broccoli
The name says a lot, we are going to need some beef and some broccoli. However, that is not all, there's some seasonings and sauces too!
Ingredients for The Beef and Broccoli:
- Broccoli
- Beef
- Oil
- Minced garlic
- Minced ginger
- Salt, pepper and garlic powder
First, this recipe is for beef and broccoli, which we have gone over a lot. However, if you are not a fan of broccoli, you do not need to make the broccoli. Broccoli is great in this recipe; however, many other vegetables are as well including carrots, peppers or mushrooms. Alternatively, you can skip the vegetables in total. This recipe does make a lot of extra sauce, which is perfect for additional vegetables and rice. However, if you are skipping the vegetables, you may want to reduce some of the sauce.
Second, this recipe calls for try tip beef; however, substitute your beef of choice if you do not want to use that or have a different cut of beef. Alternatively, if you more of a chicken person, which I typically am, this recipe works great with chicken. However, this recipe would be pretty great with just about any protein that you want to throw in it.
I use minced garlic and minced ginger out of a bottle. I know, I am awful, but I am also lazy. Alternatively, you can mince your own garlic and ginger.
Beef and Broccoli Sauce Ingredients:
The sauce is very simple and I typically have all of the ingredients on hand. If this is for a gluten free beef and broccoli, please be mindful of the ingredients you are choosing as all of these are known to be made with gluten (wheat). However, if you are not gluten free, your typical ingredients will be good enough.
- Broth
- Soy sauce
- Teriyaki sauce
- Brown sugar
- Sesame oil
- Corn starch
This recipe will call for chicken broth; however, I have made this many times with beef broth, I mean it is a beef and broccoli recipe. I typically use chicken broth, as that is what I have in my house normally, but I really do not notice a big taste difference. Nevertheless, use whichever one you want to use and have on hand, it does not make a big difference. If you are making this into a vegetarian or pescatarian dish, you can certainly use vegetable broth as well.
Soy sauce and teriyaki sauce are used in this recipe; but, you can use just soy sauce. I think that the teriyaki sauce really provides and elevated flavor; however, I have made this with just soy sauce before and it is still amazing.
I use brown sugar substitute, and a lot of it. Beef and broccoli tends to me more of a savory dish, which this still is; however, in mine, I can taste a bit of the sweetness, which I love. If you want to keep this restaurant style beef and broccoli dish more savory, like in the restaurant, reduce the amount of sugar. Alternatively, substitute regular brown sugar.
How to Make Chinese Style Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
This recipe will not include rice; however, if you want to add rice, I would get that started first. You can use my stovetop rice method or my instant pot rice method. Alternatively, try a pre-made rice, substitute cauliflower rice or try noodles.
Broccoli
First, start by cooking the broccoli. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. I steam my broccoli on the stove with a little bit of water. Fill a medium sized pot with about an inch of water. Place that on the stove over medium heat and let that come to a slight boil. Add the cut up broccoli, cover the pot, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, depending how you like the broccoli. Once cooked, remove from heat and drain. Then set aside as we cook the beef. However, you can cook the broccoli with any cooking method that you prefer. I typically prefer baked broccoli but this will also do.
Beef
Let's make our restaurant style beef and broccoli. Grab the beef and cut into cubes, about one inch by one inch, but you can make it as big or small as you please. Place in a large bowl, drizzling with olive oil and tossing to coat. Sprinkle on the seasonings, tossing again to coat.
Heat a large pan over medium / medium high heat. Grease with cook spray, or, alternatively, drizzle with a little oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the cut up, seasoned beef to the pan and cook for a couple minutes on each side. It should only take about 10 minutes to cook the beef.
Sauce
While the beef is cooking, prepare the sauce. Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in one bowl, and the two ingredients for the slurry in another. Don't forget, if this is a gluten free beef and broccoli, use the gluten free alternatives.
Once the beef is cooked, add the sauce to the pan, bringing to a slight simmer. Simmer the sauce with the beef for about 3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Then, add the slurry and mix that into the sauce. Bring back up to a simmer and simmer again for another 3 minutes, until the sauce is to your desired thickness.
Either add the broccoli in and mix everything together or serve on the side. As mentioned, there will be plenty of extra sauce for the broccoli and rice.
What To Do With Leftovers
This recipe makes a bunch of servings, 6 servings. It will be great for a meal prep; however, you can also adjust the serving size. If there are leftovers, store in an air tight container in the fridge, it should be good for about four days. You can use the leftover beef for salads as well.
