Ingredients :

500 g. of beef brisket, boiled whole then cooled and cut into thin, thin slices
about 2 tablespoonfuls of finely minced garlic
2 shallots (or 1 large onion), peeled and thinly sliced
lots of broccoli leaves, tough ends of stalks cut off and discarded
5-6 tbsps. of vegetable cooking oil
light soy sauce
ground pepper, to taste

Cooking procedure :

Note that the I didn’t indicate the amount of light soy sauce. If you seasoned the beef well when it was boiled, you will need less soy sauce than you would if the beef was lightly seasoned or unseasoned.

Heat the cooking oil in a large shallow pan. Add the sliced beef and cook, stirring, until reheated and lightly browned around the edges. Add the garlic and sliced onion. Cook for about a minute before adding the broccoli leaves. Pour in the soy sauce (start with about 1/4 cup) and add some ground pepper. Stir a few times then lower the heat, cover and simmer for 5-8 minutes, depending on how mature the broccoli leaves are. More mature ones need to cook longer while tender leaves take only a few minutes to cook.

Add more soy sauce, if necessary, before serving. Or serve with soy sauce on the side.

    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!!
