I made a lot of changes. I still love the recipe but felt it lacked a lot. I added carrots, onion, and fresh sliced garlic in addition to broccoli. I used some butter and double the amount of beef broth. Instead of using a lot of soy sauce, I used 1/2 cup of liquid amino instead of soy sauce and doubled the amount of brown sugar.
When I do this recipe again I will put onion and garlic in with the steak instead of waiting.
All in all, I like the basis of the recipe.
can you post the recipe you made?
Was very good. Make sure to use low sodium soy sauce. I would also recommend not cooking broccoli the entire 10 minutes. It was too soft and we like a bite to ours.
This was great. I did modify a little. I did season steak with salt and pepper and ginger. I also added Sesame seeds and red peppers in when cooking broccoli. We also topped with scallions. Definitely will make again.
Loved it!! Added some celery, onion and shredded carrot. Would definitely make again.
It was perfect!! Added some fresh ginger for a little extra flavor! Will definitely make it again!
Tried this yesterday and added noodles. It is very easy and delicious.
I actually love the noodles more than the rice. Making this tonight. I try to make one Korean Dish a week. My Husband loves Korean food.
Way too sweet!
Made this for the second time – quick, easy and delicious! Use lower sodium broth and soy. We had a bell pepper so added that with the broccoli. This time, we had ginger so I grated that into the marinade. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds the spice we like!
This was easy and so delicious! I added onions and sliced shiitake mushrooms also. After it cooled down (when I was cleaning up) I tasted a spoonful of the sauce and it was so yummy! I will definitely make again.
Can this be saved for the next day to eat as a school lunch?
Good recipe. Make sure you use low sodium soya sauce. Mine was good but a bit salty
My daughter and I just made this and it was fantastic! We did not make any changes. We’ll definitely make it again soon.
I suggest low sodium soy sauce. otherwise it was fast, easy and flavorful
Next time may add some carrots or other vegetables.
Followed the recipe exactly, it was good, next time I will tweak it a bit, as a few others suggested.
Just made this recipe for the first time and it was AMAZING!! So good – we both loved it! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
This recipe is perfect the way it is! I add extra mushrooms because my better half loves them!
Anything you want to add is your choice! I love that it’s fast and very tasty!
I made this…omg yum
It had a great flavour
I made this tonight, exactly as written, and it was delicious! My husband said it is just as good as the dish at our favorite Chinese restaurant. Thanks so much!
This was really tasty and easy to make. I used regular soy sauce and the dish ended up pretty salty. Definitely stick with the low sodium soy sauce that the recipe calls for.
Made this tonight! Better than any restaurant I’ve had!
Has anyone ever tried to replace the brown sugar with either coconut sugar or agave nectar?
I plan to do coconut sugar today and half it to just two TBS instead of 1/4cup.
I replaced the sugar with Swerve and it turned out great!
Very easy to make and everyone loved it!
I made it with frozen brócoli and I loved out great recipe.
This sounds sooo good. Cant wait to try it. The ingredients just got added to my grocery list for tomorrows shopping. THANKS!
Awesome, hope you love it!! 🙂
Instead of corn starch, I used wheat flour.
Did this substitute work well for you?
