Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (or honey garlic ground beef for extra flavor)
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger (if using), and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add broccoli florets and cook for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp. You can add a splash of water and cover the skillet for a few minutes to help steam the broccoli.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with broccoli. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the hot beef and broccoli stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use freshly minced garlic and grated ginger for the best flavor punch.
- Adjust the honey amount to suit your sweetness preference.
- For a more authentic taste, incorporate a splash of rice vinegar or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- To make it even healthier, substitute brown rice or cauliflower rice.
