    Why This Recipe Works 

    • Ready in under 30 minutes.
    • Minimal ingredients.
    • Classic take-out favorite turned vegan.

    Ingredients

    • Beyond Steak - a plant-based beef substitute read our full Beyond Steak review or substitute Gardein plant-based meat substitute.
    • Fresh Ginger - gives this dish a warm, spicy and peppery taste.
    • Coconut Aminos or Low Sodium Soy sauce - you can also substitute a low-sodium Tamari sauce or Gluten-Free Tamari. 
    • Light Brown Sugar - adds just enough sweetness and complements the heat, salt and savory notes.
    • Corn Starch - to thicken the sauce. You can substitute tapioca starch.
    • Sesame Oil  - very distinct, strong nutty earthy flavor.

    See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Variations

    Vegetables: Feel free to add ½ cup of vegetables such as sliced carrots, bok choy, mushrooms, snow peas or bell peppers. If using carrots, add them at the same time you cook the broccoli, so they will be steamed together.

    For vegetables that cook faster like mushrooms and snow peas, you can add them halfway through steaming the broccoli. Then return them to the pan at the end of cooking, at step 6.

    Substitution

    You can use frozen Broccoli instead of fresh.

    If you can’t find or don’t have any Beyond Steak on hand you can also use mushrooms. Shiitake or Portobello mushroom - 6 large mushroom caps. Sliced up into about ⅚ strips per cap.

    Tip

    Use low-sodium soy sauce if sodium is a concern for you.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Make the brown sauce by mixing together the fresh ginger, minced garlic, hot water, low sodium soy sauce, light brown sugar, black pepper, salt and sesame oil. Whisk in the cornstarch (the hot water helps to dissolve the cornstarch). This creates a slurry effect to help thicken the sauce when cooked. Set aside.

    Step 2: Stream the broccoli. Add about ½ cup of water with about 20 ounces of broccoli and steam on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes and remove from pan.

    Step 3: Cook the vegan beef according to package instructions. Add the sauce, and stir until it thickens, about 30 seconds.

    Step 4: Stir in the broccoli, and toss until the vegetables and beef are all covered in sauce. Add salt and pepper as needed.

    Step 5: Add any garnishes you want like sesame seeds and green onion and serve the vegan beef and broccoli over rice or noodles. 

    Recipe FAQs

    Is Beef And Broccoli Healthy?

    It's a relatively healthy dish that's low in carbohydrates and high in protein. However, the meat based recipe can be made with fattier cuts of beef. This vegan version is lower in overall fat. A healthy choice for anyone looking for lower fat option recipes.

    What Are Vegan Beef Strips Made Of?

    The Beyond Steak tips are made of primarily of water, wheat gluten, faba bean protein and water, expeller-pressed canola oil, salt, natural flavor spices - garlic & onion powder, pomegranate concentrate, yeast extract, sunflower lecithin and fruit and vegetable juice color

    Freezer - you can store this recipe in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. But it’s really better fresh. The broccoli will get mushy. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

      This sounds delicious. I don't have any cornstarch. Can I substitute tapioca or arrowroot? Finally found Beyond Steak locally. Looking forward to trying it in this recipe.

        Hello Shellie,

        Yes, arrowroot and tapioca are good substitute for cornstarch. The ratio for arrowroot is 1:1 and for tapioca it’s 1:2. Please let us know how it turns out.

        Enjoy 😊
