Where did Beef & Broccoli Popularity Come From?

This dish seems to have evolved into an American Chinese food. It is not even an item you would find on a Chinese menu. This dish typically utilizes western broccoli instead of Chinese broccoli in order to accommodate the western palate. Many Americans love their broccoli and they also their beef. By incorporating these two popular items and adding many variations of sauces this dish will remain popular for decades to come.
