I made this tonight for dinner. We liked it alot and it was a simple recipe to follow. I did add some mushrooms since I had some leftover from the other nights dinner. I will make this again, when the broccoli is abundant in the summer. thank you for sharing.

Great recipe, I loved it the first time I made and I came back a second time to find it and am so glad I did. I did not add the sambal oelek(don't know what that is) but I did everything else exactly according to the recipe and it was so good.

Thanks for this. From my 'extensive' cooking experience I knew that if I added 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to the soy/cornstarch mix, it would have that 'restauranty' taste. So I added 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, left out the salt to balance it a little, and added 1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes and seeds and 1/4 cup orange marmalade. Viola, szechuan orange beef and broccoli. Boy is this a good basic recipe. Thanks!

Let me add my accolades. This is my DH's favorite oriental take out dishes. I used skirt steak in lieu of flank, which he said was good. (I don't eat beef). I followed the recipe exactly and it worked out wonderful. I saved a little of the broccoli mixture for myself and stirfried it with some shrimp I had. That was good too. I served this with Chinese Green Beans #53164. I will definately be making this again. Thanks Uncle Bill, another keeper. Sue
