Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef (93/7)
- 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger (or 1 tsp. fresh grated)
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
- 1 Tbsp. oyster sauce (optional but adds great flavor)
- 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Steam or microwave the broccoli until just tender. Set aside. I like to put it in a shallow bowl with a little water and microwave for a couple minutes to soften.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef with onion over medium heat until browned, approximately 5 minutes, breaking up into smaller pieces. Drain excess grease.
- Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook another minute until fragrant.
- Add coconut aminos, hoisin, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and stir to coat the beef.
- Toss in the broccoli, stir to mix everything together. Lower to medium low, cover the pan and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, add salt and pepper and stir.
- Serve it hot over rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds or red pepper flakes. This is also delicious with a little dijon mustard.
Notes
- Optional, if you like a thicker sauce you can add a 1:1 cornstarch slurry before adding the broccoli.
