Best Beef with Broccoli in Calgary

About Our Classic Beef with Broccoli

What sets our Beef with Broccoli apart is the attention to each component of the dish. We start with quality beef, sliced against the grain and velveted—a traditional Chinese technique using cornstarch and marinade that ensures incredibly tender meat. The beef is quickly seared at high heat in our wok, developing a slight char while staying juicy inside. Fresh broccoli is blanched separately to maintain its bright color and crisp texture, then tossed with the beef in our signature sauce. This sauce is key—it's not too thick or heavy, with just the right balance of savory, slightly sweet, and umami flavors that coat each piece without overwhelming the natural taste of the ingredients. The dish is finished with fresh garlic and a touch of ginger for aromatic depth. This traditional preparation method results in a satisfying, well-balanced meal that has made it a consistent favorite among our lunch crowd and regular diners.
