Red Wine Beef Broccoli With Mushroom
Hey there! Let me guess. You are reading this post because you love Chinese food and you crave it every once in a while?
Yeah? Bingo! High five!
In my apartment, there is this typical “banana” dude (Taiwanese American) who eats like every day is the last day of the world. There is also this Chinese girl who loves making food like it’s nobody’s business (right over here!). I guess we make a good team.
Because of this combination, the desire of American Chinese food comes out pretty often under our roof. As a result, I have got plenty of practice on cooking and tweaking American Chinese food at home. Today, I want to share a special version of Beef Broccoli with ya! It’s classic, easy and delicious!
Why is it special?
Other than BEEF and BROCCOLI as main ingredients, we are going to add MUSHROOM to bring more flavor and more nutrition to this dish. Not to mention that it takes zero effort to cook mushroom.
The key for this recipe is two sauces – the marinade and the cooking sauce.
Different from most of the Beef Broccoli recipes out there, red wine is my choice of marinating beef instead of Sherry. Red wine is so accessible and it doesn’t have to be fancy. A 5-buck bottle works just fine!
Another perfect match for beef is Worcestershire sauce, of course! It goes into our cooking sauce with oyster sauce and brown sugar, making the final touch of this famous Chinese dish speechlessly delicious.
Get the two sauces ready. You are good to go! You are going to have a classic and uber flavorful Beef Broccoli with Mushroom that goes extremely well with rice in less than 30 minutes. Go pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy! You deserve it!
Now, questions for you. How often do you crave Chinese food? Once a week? Once a month? Would you like to see more 30-minute Chinese recipes so that you can just make it at home without having to go out whenever you feel like Chinese food? Let me know in the comments. Cheers!

Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 cups broccoli florets

- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 slices fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
For the beef marinade:

For the cooking sauce:
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions
- Stir together the beef marinade ingredients in a medium bowl until cornstarch is dissolved. Add prepared beef into the marinade and coat well. Set aside.

Food really tastes best with red wine. This was the best broccoli and meat I’ve ever done.

I prefer not to cook with alcohol. What would be a good substitute for the red wine in this dish?
Hi Ismat, in your case, you may simply omit the wine from this recipe. Hope you enjoy it. Happy cooking!
I go in waves with Chinese food, but easily crave it once a month. And I would love more easy at home recipes because I think it is hard to find good Chinese food when out and about–hence how I ended up on your website in the first place!!
Hey Brady! Thank you so much for your comment! There are plenty of easy Chinese recipes on this site. I hope you find them useful! Of course, there will be more to come. 🙂 Hope to talk to you soon again! Cheers!
What a love/hate relationship I have with your site Sharon… love the recipes, the photos and the way you offer more than just a menu but hate it because I’m always starving after viewing. 😀
LOL…What a special compliment! Love and hate make relationship more interesting and stronger! haha…
