Ground Beef and Broccoli is a quick, savory stir fry-style dish made with browned beef, tender broccoli, and a simple garlic soy sauce. Perfect over rice for easy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 tbsp oil (if using lean meat)

  • 3 cups broccoli florets

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp grated ginger

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • ½ cup beef broth or water

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • Optional: green onions, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, broth, and sesame oil. Set aside.

  2. Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.

  3. Add garlic and ginger. Cook 1 minute.

  4. Add broccoli and 2–3 tbsp water. Cover and steam for 2–3 minutes.

  5. Pour in sauce. Stir and cook until thickened, about 2–3 minutes.

  6. Serve hot over rice or noodles. Garnish as desired.

Notes

  • Use tamari for gluten-free.

  • Swap beef for turkey or plant-based crumbles.

  • Great for meal prep — reheats well.
