How to Make Easy Beef And Broccoli On The Blackstone Griddle
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for about 15-30 minutes. This step is crucial; it infuses the beef with flavor and ensures it’s tender.
- Preheat the Griddle: Heat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and let it heat up until shimmering.
- Cook the Beef: Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the griddle in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the griddle and set it aside.
- Stir-Fry the Broccoli: In the same area of the griddle, add a little more oil if needed. Toss in the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Push the broccoli to one side of the griddle. Add minced garlic and ginger to the other side and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the griddle. Pour the beef broth over the mixture, stirring everything together until well combined. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
- Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles for a satisfying meal.

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! Here are some tasty suggestions:

Tips for Success
Here are a few tips I’ve learned along the way:
- Make sure to slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Don’t overcrowd the griddle; cook in batches if necessary to achieve that beautiful sear.
- Prep your ingredients ahead of time to make the cooking process smooth and fun.
