Recipe Notes
When we are working on a recipe it is important to look at lots of others and pick the best of each version.
Part of that quest is for the right ingredients that go in a dish as well as for technique. As you might imagine there’s thousands of such Asian-style Beef with Broccoli recipes. The big difference is mainly with thin sliced vs. cubed or thicker sliced beef. There are some variations in how the sauce is made but this one with Dijon mustard is excellent.
Flank steak works great for this but make certain to cut the slices across the grain and they will be naturally tender. That said, you can use almost any good quality cut of lean beef you like. If flank steak is cheaper than top round, by all means use it.
