Ground Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
This Ground Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry is a quick and delicious weeknight dinner option.
Equipment
- large deep skillet
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup reduced sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground beef 93% lean
- 0.5 medium yellow onion chopped
- 1 large head broccoli cut into florets and blanched
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 3 medium scallions sliced on the bias
- cooked rice or cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Add the sesame oil to a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is just about cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the reserved sauce, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and cook for 1 more minute.
- Divide mixture evenly among 4 plates or shallow bowls, layering rice first, if using.
- Top each with sesame seeds and scallions.
Notes
To blanch the broccoli, bring a big pot of water to boil. Drop the florets into the water and cook for two to three minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Immediately drain in a colander and put in an ice bath, which will stop the cooking process. Once the broccoli is cool, drain in the colander again.
