Ingredients

- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and onion and cook breaking apart as you stir until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sesame oil and chopped broccoli florets and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Then add the soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar (optional) to the beef and broccoli and stir until everything is well coated. Let simmer for another 2-3 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
- Serve warm over rice, in lettuce wraps, or in a bowl.

Notes
- Sweeter Beef and Broccoli
- If you like your stir fry sweeter and stickier, you can add up to 1/4 cup brown sugar to the sauce mixture. I personally prefer to keep it lighter and I make this without the brown sugar.
- Saucy Beef and Broccoli
- This recipe has a light coating of sauce. If you like a really saucy stir fry, I would double the sauce ingredients to give you twice the amount of sauce.
