Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For tender beef, choose a lean cut such as sirloin or tenderloin. Slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Dutch mustard — Use a good quality Dutch mustard for an authentic flavor. If unavailable, you can substitute with Dijon mustard.
- Broccoli — To retain its vibrant green color and crispness, steam the broccoli until it is tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking.
Tips & Tricks
- For a richer flavor, marinate the beef in the sauce mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
- Serve with a side of Dutch-style fries for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
