Ground Beef and Broccoli
This Ground Beef and Broccoli is a spin on the classic Chinese takeout dish. Instead of sliced beef, it uses ground beef. It's incredibly easy to make and tastes delicious. Ready in 20 minutes or less.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 3-4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3-4 cloves)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
For the sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and saute for 1 minute. Add 3 tablespoons of water, cover with a lid, and cook for 2-3 minutes until crisp and tender. Remove the broccoli to a plate.
- Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking up the beef with a spatula as you go, 5-6 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes. Add the sauce mixture, and cook until it thickens, about 1 minute. Add back the broccoli and toss until evenly coated. Enjoy!
