Ingredients for Beef and Broccoli on Blackstone

- Black pepper – The slight kick that black pepper has makes it a great addition for this recipe.
- Sesame oil – Sesame oil has a very strong and distinct flavor, so make sure you measure out the exact amount you need. Because of it’s flavor, it is not recommended to substitute with another oil.
- White rice – This is optional, but beef and broccoli stir fry is easiest to serve over white rice.
- Broccoli – Fresh broccoli is best when making this yummy Blackstone dinner recipe.

Helpful Tools
How to Make Blackstone Beef and Broccoli
Place your steak in the freezer for 30 minutes before cooking. Cold steak slices are the key thinly sliced pieces that stir fry best. If you want to serve this with white rice, go ahead and prepare that while the steak chills.
Preheat your Blackstone griddle to a medium heat.
While it preheats, combine all of the stir fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Then remove the beef from the freezer and slice it into thin bite-sized pieces.
Spread a tablespoon of oil over the hot Blackstone and then add broccoli florets. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring and tossing until the broccoli is a bright green color and tender. Then slide it to the cooler side of the griddle.
Spread another tablespoon of oil on the Blackstone and then add the sliced beef in a single layer over the greased griddle. Sauté 2 minutes on each side until just cooked through.
Add the broccoli to the cooked meat and then pour the previously made sauce over the beef and broccoli. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Take the stir fry off of the griddle and place it into a bowl.
Serve over white rice and garnish with sesame seeds!
How to Store Leftover Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
FRIDGE: Place leftover easy beef and broccoli stir fry into airtight containers and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
FREEZER: You can also freeze leftovers! Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw before reheating.
How to Reheat Leftover Beef and Broccoli
For best results, reheat in a skillet on the stovetop or on a hot Blackstone. You can also make some extra sauce to add to your leftovers to keep them moist and delicious!
What to Serve with Blackstone Beef and Broccoli
We love to serve this over plain white rice or simple chow mein noodles. You could even serve it over an egg roll in a bowl!
And while it’s good all on it’s own, you can add some fun side dishes too. Grilled sweet potatoes or seasoned smoked potatoes.
This Asian ramen salad would also be a great side dish, as well as air fryer egg rolls!
Can I use frozen broccoli in this recipe?
While you can absolutely use frozen broccoli in this recipe, we recommend using fresh broccoli for the best results. Frozen broccoli would probably get a bit mushy after being cooked in a stir fry like this one.
Pro Tips for the Best Beef and Broccoli on Blackstone
- Feel free to use a store-bought sauce if you need to save some time!
- Make sure you cut the steak into evenly sized pieces so that they all finish cooking at the same time. Thin cut pieces cook best!
