This is a great meal. So easy and such tender beef. I would double the beef, though, and reduce the sauce in a saucepan. For me, the broccoli took closer to 45 min to cook. I think I would also add a bit of ginger next time, too.

I love this recipe! It is so easy and my kids love it. I made it just as is and it was great, but I might add a little more cornstarch next time to make the sauce a little thicker.

This is a very good and easy recipe...I agree with using a larger chuck roast though. As for the broccoli, I like to steam mine then add it right before I'm ready to eat.
