Beef and broccoli leaves

Go to page 1 2 »»

When I cooked my beef and sotanghon dish a couple of days ago, I actually boiled a kilo of beef brisket. Half went into the noodle dish; half went into this braised dish that I cooked for dinner last Monday.

beef and broccoli leaves

Broccoli leaves means, well… broccoli leaves. Lots of people throw them away but they’re really good for stir fries. They take a little longer to cook than most leafy vegetables but that also means they don’t get soggy so fast. You will have to cut off the tough ends of the stalks though. Otherwise, by the time the stalks are tender, the leaves would be overcooked. Overcooking vegetables is no good.

There are no fancy seasonings or ingredients for this dish–just beef, broccoli leaves, garlic, onions and light soy sauce.

    Totoo nga, Chevee, sayang if we throw away the broccoli leaves. And they are so flavorful.

    Dexie, re stalks. Me too. At least the main stalk. I cut off the outer portion and use the light green portion at the center. Sarap, ‘no?

    The dish looks great and would like to try it. I need some clarification though on the Broccoli Leaves…are these the same to what we call here (in the US markets/groceries) Broccoli Rabe?

    Thanks!

    My pet bunny LOVES broccoli leaves! So if you know anyone with bunnies, they make excellent bunny food. But not too much! Bunnies are supposed to eat mostly hay, pellets, and then limited amounts of carrots, broccoli, leaves etc.

    Family loves it. Yes, even my 3 yr old liked it and she is picky. We grew our own broccoli this year and did not want to waste the leaves. This was perfect. Thankyou!!
