Description

A quick and delicious skillet dish featuring ground beef and broccoli, perfect for a weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the broccoli florets, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to combine.
  4. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve over cooked rice or quinoa.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, serve the dish over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
  • Add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and nutrition.
