Lately, I've developed a full-blown crush on broccoli. I know, it's a vegetable, but hear me out! My amazing Tita, had noticed my interest in broccoli and has taken my newfound obsession on broccoli as a challenge. She's been on a mission to showcase broccoli's versatility, and let me tell you, it's been a heavenly journey. Different dishes with broccoli had been served at our table this past month, and this week, I've tried the most amazing dish that my Tita made! Beef & Broccoli. Classic, right? The tender, savory beef, those perfectly tender but crunchy broccoli, all bathed in a rich glossy sauce– it was pure comfort food perfection.

You might ask, What is Beef & Broccoli?

Beef and Broccoli is a flavorful, American-Chinese stir-fry, savory dish that makes up of beef and broccoli mixed with a savory brown sauce that is typically made with soy sauce and oyster sauce, making the dish perfectly balanced with its savory taste and a hint of sweetness in the sauce. Not to mention, the presence of broccoli, which makes it more delicious because it only added to the texture of the dish, as well as the freshness it brings. 

As for my Tita’s version, she added another ingredient, a simple ingredient, but a true game changer. I found out that cauliflower with broccoli was the best combo ever made! And, of course, on top of that, mixed with the thinly tenderized beef and the amazing brown sauce, it was mind blowing. I personally cannot get over that experience, and it is now my favorite dish ever.
