Steam or boil broccoli until "tender crisp" (just cooked, still bright green and still crisp).

Step 7

Step 8

Let the beef and sauce cool.

Step 9

Meanwhile, blanch the broccoli very briefly, then run under cold water or plunge into ice water to stop from cooking further.

Drain broccoli, then combine with the beef and sauce.

Step 11

Place into ziplock bags or airtight containers and freeze or refrigerate.
