In reply to Malibu. Hi Malibu, not all frozen broccoli brands are created equal. I've had both good and really bad frozen broccoli and personally always prefer fresh. I will just say that your beef and broccoli will only turn out as good as the broccoli, meaning your ingredients really matter ;-) As for cooking, you can just let the frozen broccoli thaw out and drain before using it in the dish since it usually is cooked before being frozen.

In reply to Bill. Love soooo many of the dishes on your site! I have the exact same question about frozen broccoli. I have searched through pages of comments and have not been able to find an answer.

In reply to Kat C. Hi Kat C, definitely use your rare tenderloin beef! Just add it when you would have added the seared beef back into the dish in the recipe. Happy cooking!

In reply to Marny. Hi Marny, marinating the beef overnight is fine and will result in more flavorful and tender beef!

I know this is sacrilege, but can I make this with leftover 1/4 inch sliced beef tenderloin (it’s pretty rare) and frozen broccoli that I steam separately? I know it will not taste as good, but our freezer is full of things I need to use.

Can the beef marinate in the baking soda mixture overnight? Or is that too long? I have hip meat from a 1/2 cow.

Thank you so much! I’m not a confident cook and this was my first time using a wok. My partner and I loved it, the flavour and textures were ideal.

Wow! One of my favorite new beef with broccoli recipes. My only mod was to add some powdered dried mushrooms (oyster) to the marinade to up the beefy flavor. The sauce turned out meaty and umami-y, so good! Thank you for sharing this incredible recipe.
