Ingredients

Beef & Broccoli

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger (ground or fresh, grated)
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • Splash of beef bone broth (optional)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and coconut sugar (add a splash of beef bone broth if using).
  • Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  • Add the broccoli florets and a splash of water, cover, and steam 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Pour in the sauce and toss to coat. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes until glossy.
  • Serve hot over rice.

Notes

  • Serve over white or jasmine rice, or cauliflower rice for lower carb. Use tamari to keep it gluten-free. The beef bone broth adds richness and a little extra sauce and protein. Great for meal prep.
  • For more protein, consider cooking your rice in bone broth!
