See the 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

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, 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.
