"To test this dish, I cooked half of what was in the container, which only took about 10 minutes. This meal got points right off the bat for being super easy. There are a few criteria that beef and broccoli has to measure up to in order to be considered perfect: The broccoli should be tender, the beef cannot be chewy, and the sauce should have plenty of flavor without being too sweet or too salty. And, in the case of Costco's offering, the noodles needed to be toothsome and tender, giving just the right bite."
"All in all, this beef and broccoli dish performed pretty well. Again, it was easy to whip up on the stove, which I (and busy caregivers) always appreciate. The broccoli, though cut a little big for my liking, cooked up nice and tender - it did, however, take longer to saute than the suggested two-minute time given in the directions."
"The beef was wonderfully tender, without a chewy morsel in sight, and I adored the noodles. (Then again, I'm always a sucker for yakisoba noodles.) The one thing I would change about this dish is the sauce. It was definitely too sweet and too salty for my taste, but given the perfection of the rest of the components, I can't complain about that too much."
"Containers of the easy stir-fry were spotted in the store's prepared foods section, so, of course, I had to head over immediately to grab one. As an avid takeout fan, my standards are definitely up there. Could Costco's cook-it-yourself version live up to the hype of my favorite takeout?"
Containers of prepared beef and broccoli from Costco’s prepared foods section can be cooked at home in about 10 minutes. The dish is evaluated on tender broccoli, non-chewy beef, and a flavorful sauce that is not overly sweet or salty. Noodles are also assessed for a toothsome, tender bite. The meal scores well for ease and overall texture, with broccoli turning tender though taking longer than the suggested two-minute sauté time and being cut slightly large. The beef is tender, and the noodles are enjoyable. The main drawback is the sauce, which tastes too sweet and too salty.
