Pioneer Woman Beef And Broccoli Recipes

BEEF AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the sirloin steak, soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and ginger until the meat is evenly covered in the marinade.
• Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Dump in the meat and marinade and sear each side until golden brown.
• Transfer the meat to a clean bowl and set aside.
• Place the broccoli into the hot skillet and sauté until the broccoli has just started to brown, about 1 minute.
• Pour the water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Let it steam for 2 minutes, until the broccoli has softened.
• Remove the lid and toss in the garlic, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil. Sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the steak back into the pan and stir to combine.
• Remove from heat and serve on a bed of brown rice.
• Enjoy!

BROCCOLI CHEESE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until the broccoli has softened slightly and become bright green, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface and stretch or roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 11-by-13 inches. With the long side closest to you, spread the pesto on the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border on all sides. (You'll want to maintain the 1-inch border when adding the remaining toppings.) Top the pesto with the broccoli mixture and sprinkle over the Cheddar. Shingle the mozzarella slices over the Cheddar. Sprinkle on the basil leaves.
• Fold the short sides in, then roll the dough into a log. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make 5 to 6 diagonal slits on top of the dough. Brush the top with the remaining tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve the warmed marinara alongside and top each serving with some more fresh basil.

BEEF AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Velveting: Place 4 ounces cornstarch, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine and 1 teaspoon baking soda in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
• Mushroom Water: Place 2 cups dried mushrooms (medium-size shiitakes) in a large container. Pour 1 quart of cold water over the mushrooms and cover the container in plastic wrap or top with a lid. Let the mixture rest overnight in the refrigerator. Strain out the liquid and reuse the dried mushrooms as a component in the recipe or save for another recipe.
• Slurry: Pour 1/2 cup cornstarch into 1/2 cup cold water and mix well. If not immediately used, stir frequently until used.
• Marinate your beef in the velvet marinade overnight.
• For flash-frying the beef: You will need a pot filled two-thirds of the way with vegetable oil set to 350˚ F and large enough to dunk your spider or strainer in comfortably. That temperature is high because you will not be frying for an extended time. (Note: Be careful! Don't bring water anywhere near the oil, and watch for any wet utensils, like the spider you used for blanching. If it gets in the oil, the oil will splatter everywhere and potentially burn you. Keep those utensils dry.)
• Heat your separate wok or pot to medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and drop in the garlic, ginger and onion, cooking through for 2 minutes. Then add the broccoli and toss with all of the aromatics.
• Meanwhile, drop your beef into the spider and lower it into the fry pot. Lift your spider out of the bubbling oil after 10 seconds, shake it carefully and add the beef to the wok or pan with the Chinese broccoli.
• Toss everything together, then add the oyster sauce and soy sauce and reduce the mixture slightly for 2 minutes. Add the Shaoxing wine, mushroom water and MSG and reduce for another 2 minutes. Incorporate the slurry to thicken the sauce.
• Remove from the heat and serve on a platter. Top with the fried shallots and scallions.

ROASTED LEMON-CHILE BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the broccoli on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss with the crushed red pepper flakes and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Roast until the broccoli begins to brown and crisp in places, 10 to 12 minutes. Finish by squeezing the juice from one of the lemon halves over the broccoli.
