Ditch the Chinese take out and make this delicious Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry at home in just 25 minutes! It’s gluten free, dairy free and easy to make, perfect for weeknight dinners in a hurry!
About a week ago I was craving Beef Chow Fun from my favorite local Chinese restaurant.
Instead of heading into downtown to grab a bowl at the restaurant, I decided to come up with a recipe to make it at home. And of course I had to share it on the blog!
If you’re not familiar with Beef Chow Fun, it’s a Chinese stir fry dish made with beef, bean sprouts and wide rice noodles, AKA hor fun, which is how the dish gets it’s name.
Unfortunately I was not able to find wide rice noodles or bean sprouts at any of the three grocery stores I regularly shop at, which is how this dish became slightly transformed from Beef Chow Fun to Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry.
I used broccolini instead of broccoli, simply because I think it makes a more stylish bowl of noodles. (Seriously, only a food blogger refers to bowls of noodles as stylish, lol!) At home, you can use broccoli or broccolini, whichever you prefer!
Even though I had to veer from the original recipe I had planned, I love how this beef and broccoli recipe turned out! It’s full of flavor, made in only 25 minutes and all of the ingredients are easily found at any major grocery store!

- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha

Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry Instructions
Combine the soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, honey and chili paste in a small bowl. Set aside.
Cook the rice noodles according to package directions, drain, rinse in cold water and set aside.
Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and broccoli, saute 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic and ginger, saute an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the beef and cook through.
Drain any grease from the beef, then add the noodles and sauce to the pan.
Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, add the green onions and serve.
I’m so excited to add this bowl of deliciousness to my ever-growing list of quick and easy Chinese recipes to make at home, with favorites like Orange Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Chinese Honey Chicken, Sriracha Steak Fried Rice & General Tso’s Chicken, all made in under 30 minutes!

Looks delish! My peanut-allergic son can’t eat in Chinese restaurants, so I am excited to be able to try a safe, homemade version of broccoli beef!
Thanks so much Jenny! I’m excited that you & your family will now have a peanut-free Beef and Broccoli recipe to enjoy at home 🙂
