Beef and broccoli leaves
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieWhen 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.
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.

ay ang galing! my hubby brought home this huge bunch of broccoli from baguio and i was just wondering if the leaves and stalks were edible…parang sayang kasi to throw away everything but the florets at the top. Thanks for posting this, we’ll try cooking it tomorrow =D
i love broccoli leaves. i love every part of broccoli actually. i even use the stalks when making stir-fry
.
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?
I love broccoli leaves and stalks too. Will try out this one also. New way to prepare broccoli. Lets hope it turn out well as other dishes of broccoli.
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!!
