Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.

2. While beef cooks, steam broccoli until just tender but still bright green.

3. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil.

4. Pour the sauce over the cooked beef. Stir and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

5. Add the steamed broccoli to the skillet and toss to coat everything in the sauce.

6. Serve hot over rice or noodles and garnish with green onions if desired.

Notes

This recipe works great with frozen broccoli—just thaw and drain well.

You can substitute tamari for soy sauce to make it gluten-free.

Add chili flakes or sriracha if you want a spicy kick.
