Ground Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

This easy Ground Beef and Broccoli stir-fry is perfect when you need a quick weeknight dinner! By making it from scratch, as opposed to ordering take-out, you avoid unwanted ingredients like MSG. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce, or gluten-free tamari
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 lb ground beef, 93% lean
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 lge head broccoli, cut into florets and blanched
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 3 medium scallions, sliced on the bias
  • Cooked barley or cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)

Preparation:

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.

Add the sesame oil to a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is just about cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Pour in the reserved sauce, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and cook for 1 more minute.

Divide mixture evenly among 4 plates or shallow bowls, layering rice first, if using.

Top each with sesame seeds and scallions.

Blessed be... and happy cooking!
