Blackstone Griddle Beef and Broccoli Recipe

Blackstone Beef and Broccoli Recipe

One of my favorite convenience buys at Costco is their large packs of super-thin sliced New York steak. Those paper-thin cuts are ideal for stir-fries and griddle cooking, and unless you own a meat slicer you won’t easily replicate this thickness at home. Using these thin slices means the beef cooks quickly and stays tender.

A single large pack of thinly sliced steak can be stretched into several meals. For example, about half of a pack made enough Beef and Broccoli to feed four to six people when served with steamed rice and a simple salad. The remaining meat can be used for sandwiches or a spicy stir-fry later in the week. If you don’t have access to pre-sliced steak, your butcher can often slice a New York strip thinly for you—ask for thin slices cut against the grain and with good marbling.

This recipe is not only cost-effective, it’s quick: prep time is minimal and cook time is under 15 minutes once the griddle is hot. It reheats well, making it ideal for meal prep, weeknight dinners, or delivering a comforting meal to new parents or someone recovering from illness. Leftovers keep nicely in the refrigerator and can be reheated gently in the microwave or on the griddle.

How to Make This Recipe (Overview)

Below is a simple overview so you can see the workflow before diving into the step-by-step instructions. Follow the full recipe card for exact measurements and timing.

1. Preheat — Heat your Blackstone griddle (or large skillet) over high heat until very hot and clean.
2. Prep — Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl so the cornstarch dissolves. If your steak isn’t pre-sliced, slice it thinly against the grain and toss with the steak seasoning.
3. Cook the broccoli — Add a thin layer of oil to the griddle, stir-fry the broccoli briefly, then pile it and steam with a splash of water under a dome to finish cooking.
4. Cook the steak — Spread the seasoned steak in a single layer and sear until browned, flipping and chopping into bite-sized pieces as it cooks.
5. Combine and finish — Mix the broccoli with the beef, pour the sauce over the mixture, and stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
6. Serve — Serve hot over steamed rice, udon, or yakisoba noodles.

Recipe FAQ

Can this dish be made in advance?

Yes. Beef and Broccoli is an excellent make-ahead meal. It stores well in the refrigerator for several days and reheats nicely in the microwave or on the griddle. It’s convenient for lunches or for delivering to friends and family who need a ready-to-eat dinner.

Any recommended substitutions or additions?

Absolutely. Adjust the sauce to taste—add chili garlic sauce or sriracha for heat. Swap or add vegetables such as sliced bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for variety. Use tamari to make it gluten-free if needed, and swap brown sugar for a sugar substitute if you’re watching sugar intake.

How should I store and reheat leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on the griddle or in a skillet over medium heat, or use the microwave for convenience. If the sauce has thickened too much in the fridge, add a splash of water or soy sauce while reheating to loosen it up.
