Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head or 2 crowns broccoli, about 1 pound, cut into small florets
- ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin rice wine
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste, or fresh minced ginger
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pound 93% lean ground beef
- 1 cup coarsely chopped sweet yellow onion, not diced
- kosher salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced on the bias
- cooked white or brown rice, optional for serving
Instructions
- In a skillet, place the broccoli and add enough water to come halfway up the sides. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes until barely fork tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- In a measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, ginger paste, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat sesame oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook until the beef is done and onion begins to soften, breaking up the meat into chunks. Drain excess grease, season with salt and pepper, and add the broccoli and stir fry sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let rest before serving.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, and serve with rice.
Notes
You can adjust the level of salt depending on your taste or dietary needs, especially if using regular soy sauce.
Feel free to swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
