Description
A quick and flavorful dish featuring ground beef cooked in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce with fresh broccoli.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cups broccoli florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp grated ginger
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
- Once the beef is browned, remove any excess grease, and add the garlic to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Add the broccoli florets to the pan with the beef, then pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir to coat the beef and broccoli evenly.
- Cover and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve the dish over cooked rice if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or pork for a lighter version of the dish.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for a more colorful dish.
- For more heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha sauce.
- For a low-carb option, skip the rice and serve with cauliflower rice.
