Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (preferably lean)
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional for thickening)
- 1 cup cooked rice or cauliflower rice
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in a tablespoon of water and add it now. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
- Serve over cooked rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor.
Notes
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep rice separate to prevent sogginess. Reheat in microwave or on stovetop until hot.
- For added crunch, sprinkle extra sesame seeds or chopped nuts. Consider serving with side dishes like steamed Asian veggies or Mediterranean salad.
- Adjust spice level by adding sriracha or red pepper flakes.
