What Beef is used for Beef and Broccoli?

I personally like to use Flank steak for my Broccoli and Beef, mainly because its already tender and so easy to cook and it takes little time. but the key to making any broccoli and beef is just thinly slicing the Steak of your choice and against the grain and you should be able to make a great meal.

Best Way to cook a Flank Steak

After seasoning with your favorite rub or marinde. Start by making slits along the top, about 1/4 deep and an inch apart. This breaks up the muscle and makes it tender. The trick to cooking the steak is cooking it fast at a high heat. Flank steak gets chewier the longer its cooked. So, cooking it to a rare or medium rare is best. cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side and finish with 2 minutes on the second side.
