Beef & Broccoli is one of those classic dishes that’s dependable, balanced, and delicious. Our take on this recipe features Impossible™ Beef Made From Plants, and makes this savory, plant-based recipe meaty AND better for the planet.
This Impossible™ Beef & Broccoli recipe calls for Chinese broccoli. Chinese broccoli, which is also known as gai-lan, kai-lan, or Chinese kale, has larger, flatter leaves, thick stems, and smaller florets than the broccoli you typically find. Chinese broccoli also has a bit of a stronger, more bitter taste that is a perfect complement to the flavors in this recipe and the juiciness of Impossible Beef, creating a satisfying plant-based meal that’s sure to be a hit.
For the final seasoning, as you’re ready to plate this dish, we suggest reaching for the all-purpose Japanese Togarashi spice mix, which is usually a 7-spice blend that includes ingredients like toasted white sesame seeds, toasted black sesame seeds, Szechuan peppercorns, dried nori (seaweed), dried tangerine or orange peel, chili powder, and toasted poppy seeds or ginger.
This recipe can be adjusted to the heat level you’re comfortable with and can be served over steaming rice noodles or steamed rice. Enjoy!
