It’s a lot of fun to make takeaway staples like beef and broccoli delicious, healthy, and easy with just a few tweaks.

I prefer to build my own Asian takeout as it gives me the opportunity to use much better ingredients. High quality, fresh ingredients that are good for our health and the health of the planet make a huge difference. That’s why we used humanely grown ground beef on regenerative farms, organic vegetables, and locally grown honey (instead of sugar).

What are the benefits of eating beef and broccoli?

Lean ground beef (preferably from humanely raised animals) is a nutritious protein source rich in various vitamins and minerals, especially iron and zinc. Broccoli is an excellent source of fiber and protein. It is an underrated superfood because it is a source of iron, potassium, calcium, selenium, magnesium, vitamins A, C, E, K, and many B vitamins, including folic acid. Ground beef and broccoli have far less sugar and oil than most recipes (I used honey and 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil instead of sugar), so this is a really wholesome Chinese recipe.

How to boil broccoli?

This recipe calls for blanched broccoli. Blanching is a quick and easy way to cook vegetables.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Drop the florets into the water and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green, crisp and tender. Drain immediately in a colander and place in an ice bath (a large bowl filled with ice water). This will stop the cooking process. When the broccoli has cooled, strain it again.
