Description
A quick and satisfying skillet dish featuring ground beef and crisp broccoli, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 to 5 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 3 tablespoons water
- Red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt to taste
- Cooked rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for serving
Instructions
- Start your rice or noodles first, if serving. This recipe moves quickly once the pan gets hot.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as you go. Drain extra fat if necessary.
- Add garlic and ginger to the beef and stir for about 30 seconds.
- Toss in the broccoli. If fresh, add 2 to 3 tablespoons water and cover for 2 minutes to steam. If frozen, give it an extra minute.
- Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and vinegar in a small bowl, then pour into the skillet and stir.
- Combine cornstarch and water, then pour that in. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce turns glossy.
- Turn off the heat and drizzle sesame oil over the top. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Notes
Keep broccoli bright by not over steaming. Using lean beef prevents excess grease in the sauce.
