Beef broccoli is really an Asian dish and it is obvious because some of the ingredients are not indigenous in the Philippines. Oyster sauce and broccoli are examples although oyster sauce are already locally produced and broccoli are locally grown and harvested. Most beef broccoli recipes marinate and stir fry the raw beef but the recipe I got here is boiled first until tender (boiling is commonly a Pinoy way of tenderizing the meat) to make sure the beef is tender if somehow you can’t find tenderloin or sirloin.
