Description
A quick and flavorful Korean-inspired dish featuring savory ground beef and tender broccoli coated in a delicious soy-based sauce, perfect for serving over steamed rice for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- 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.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour this sauce over the cooked beef and stir to combine.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve over cooked rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
- Drain excess fat from the beef to avoid greasy texture.
- Use fresh broccoli florets for best texture; frozen can be used but may alter cooking time.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crispness of the broccoli.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
