Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef: Choose a lean cut for a healthier option.
- 4 cups broccoli florets: Fresh or frozen broccoli works well.
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce: You can use coconut aminos for a soy-free alternative.
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil: This adds a rich flavor to the dish.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced: Fresh garlic enhances the taste.
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced: For a zesty kick, or use 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds: Optional, for garnish and added crunch.
- Salt and pepper: To taste, enhancing the overall flavor.
- Green onions, chopped: For garnish, adding a fresh touch.
Instructions
- Prepare all your ingredients by washing the broccoli florets and mincing the garlic and ginger.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds, then add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
- Pour the soy sauce (or coconut aminos) over the beef and broccoli mixture, stir well, and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top, and serve hot.
Notes
- Use a leaner cut of ground beef, such as 80/20 or 90/10.
- Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding ingredients to sear the beef properly.
- Avoid overcooking the broccoli to maintain its crunch.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste, considering the saltiness of soy sauce or coconut aminos.
