Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup beef broth or water
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional)
- to taste salt and pepper
- 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and beef broth. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic to the beef. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

- Serve warm over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
Notes
Serve over white or brown rice for a complete meal. Adjust soy sauce or brown sugar to taste. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. For a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes or sriracha.
