Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

  • Optional: sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, water, and cornstarch until smooth and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes. This stir-fry pairs wonderfully with jasmine rice or quinoa.
