There’s something incredibly satisfying about the smoky flavor that grilling brings to simple ingredients. This dish takes a familiar combination beef and broccoli, and gives it a bold, summer-inspired twist. Think juicy, tender strips of marinated beef skewered alongside charred, slightly crispy broccoli spears. It’s a meal that feels hearty but fresh, perfect for warm evenings or laid-back gatherings.
Grilling broccoli might sound unusual if you’ve only had it steamed or stir-fried, but it completely changes the game. The florets get slightly crisp on the edges, while the stalks stay firm but tender. When paired with savory beef, the contrast in texture makes each bite interesting and satisfying. A simple marinade , maybe with garlic, soy sauce, and a hint of sesame, ties the two together and enhances that charred, umami-rich flavor.
This is one of those dishes that requires minimal effort but delivers big results. It’s easy to prepare ahead of time and works just as well for a weekday dinner as it does for a backyard BBQ. Serve it on skewers for a fun, casual presentation or arrange everything on a platter with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Beef and broccoli might be a classic combo in many kitchens, but throwing them on the grill brings new life to both ingredients. It’s the kind of food that invites you to slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and savor flavors that feel both familiar and exciting. Grilled Beef and Broccoli Spears aren’t just a clever twist – they’re a celebration of simple ingredients done right.

Grilled beef? Broccoli? Yummy, but I substituted chicken and it was still delish.
I’m not a grill master but i did my best. The beef got a little burnt :/
Don’t worry! Even the pros burn stuff sometimes. Just try lowering the heat next time, it’ll be better! 😊
So good! I added some chili flakes for a kick. Yum!
I love the idea of adding chili flakes! It must’ve added some nice heat. I might try that next time!
Sounds a bit spicy for me, I prefer it without anything extra. But hey, if you like it, go for it!
The beef was kinda tough, maybe I cooked it too long?
Wasn’t a fan. The honey made it too sweet for my taste.
Yummy, but I added some red pepper flakes for spice! Made it a whole lot better! 🔥
Fantastic recipe! The flavors are just right. My family loved it.
I tried this recipe last night and my kids were actually asking for seconds! Thanks for sharing!
Looks good, but I don’t think my kids would eat broccoli. Maybe I’ll just use frozen peas instead?
I don’t know. The sauce was too sweet for my taste. Maybe I added too much honey?
I tried this but ended up burning the beef on the grill. How do you even cook it that fast?
Doesn’t look like the picture, but it taste decent. I’ll take it.
Grilled beef broccoli spear? Like a kebab? What even is this
It’s kind of a kebab, but with broccoli! It’s very tasty, you should try it!
Idk, sounds weird to me. Broccoli and beef together? Not convinced.
I dunno. Sounds weird. Honey on beef? Anyone else feel that way?
Where’s the ginger? Everyone know it goes with beef! Disappointed.
Not bad, but I feel like it needed more flavor. Maybe some spices?
This was so good! The flavors are amazing, and the beef was super tender. Definitely making it again!
Easy to follow! Just wish there were more steps for beginners. Thanks for sharing!
Grill was too hot! Burnt my meat!! 🍖😢
Not sure about this one. Beef was tough and broccoli didn’t taste like much. Disappointed.
Sorry to hear that! Maybe try marinating the beef longer next time? It can really help with tenderness.
This was super tasty! The honey really made a difference. Will make again!
I’m glad you liked it! The honey really does add a nice touch. Did you serve it with rice or something?
I tried this recipe and the beef came out too tough. Maybe my grill is too hot? Not sure, but I wasn’t impressed.
I’m sorry to hear that! Maybe try adjusting the grill temperature next time and let the beef rest a bit after cooking? It can really help. Good luck!
Not sure if it’s worth the effort. Takes too long to prep.
Did I do something wrong?? Mine turned out so bad, my dog wouldn’t even eat it! 😩
Grilled broccoli? Who does that?? I boiled mine instead. Still turned out decent, I guess.
Meat was good, but my grill is old and made everything taste funny. 😩
Yummm! Best thing I made this week. More recipes like this please!
This was super easy! Even my kids loved it.
That’s great to hear! I’m always looking for kid-friendly recipes. 😊
Honestly, it was a bit bland for me. Maybe I needed to add more sauce??
I used chicken instead of beef and it’s was still good. Easy swap!
Broccoli is 4 healthy, helped me stay fit and then got eaten. LOL.
This recipe was amazing! The beef was so tender and the sauce had just the right kick. Will definitely make it again!
This recipe is awesome! My family loved it. Will definitely make it again!
So easy to make even I can do it. Liked it, but my grill doesn’t work very well.
Amazing taste! Will make this again for sure.
It was ok… but I think the honey was a bit too much for my taste. Could use less next time.
I agree, the honey can be overpowering sometimes. Maybe just a teaspoon next time? Otherwise, it was nice!
What?! Honey makes it yummy! Maybe you just need to get used to it, buddy. This recipe is fire!
Grilled beef and brocolli is my fav dinner. This recipe is great simplicity.
Wow, easy to make and delish! My kids actually ate broccoli for once! 😂
I added extra garlic and it was perfect. Yum!
Broccoli was too crunchy for my liking. Should’ve steamed it longer. My husband loved it tho.
🤷♀️
I didn’t find the broccoli too crunchy at all! But hey, everyone has their own taste. 🥦
I get that! Sometimes you just prefer a softer texture. Maybe try blanching next time before grilling? 🤔
Grilled beef and broc is lit! Soy sauce mix was perf, adding this to my weekly meals. 👍
Just tried it! Yum! Even my kids liked it. Thanks!
This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
