PANDA EXPRESS BEEF AND BROCCOLI

Panda Express Beef and Broccoli is one of my anchor choices every time we go to Panda Express. Not sure if you guys have noticed the wide array of Panda Express recipes on the blog. While there are a LOT of copycat recipes, Panda Express is definitely my most popular copycat source. There are so many things to love about Panda Express, like how when you walk in you see trays of fresh whole vegetables that are going to be cut up and used fresh in the foods. I think we tend to forget about vegetables when we go out for fast food, but it is so easy to include them at Panda Express.
This Panda Express Beef and Broccoli shines because the recipe is quick, tender, healthy-ish 😉 and has lots of delicious broccoli in the mix. It makes you feel better about the Chow Mein and Orange Chicken you put next to it in your two item combo.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb flank steak , sliced thinly against the grain
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons shaoxing wine , divided
• 1 lb broccoli floret , cut into bite sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (I use canola, vegetable is fine too)
• 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves , minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger , very finely minced
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Note: click on times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer while cooking.
2. Add the beef, cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of the shaoxing wine together in a ziploc bag and squeeze the bag a few times to combine.
3. Let marinade for 20 minutes.
4. Half steam your broccoli, I usually microwave in a glass bowl with a wet paper towel on top of freshly rinsed broccoli for 2:45 to cook though. In this case I would cook for 2 minutes.
