Ingredients

  • ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground beef (93% lean )
  • ½ medium yellow onion (chopped)
  • 1 large head broccoli (cut into florets and blanched*)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 3 medium scallions (sliced on the bias)
  • cooked rice (or cauliflower rice, for serving (optional))

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour in the reserved sauce, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Divide mixture evenly among 4 plates or shallow bowls, layering rice first, if using.
  5. Top each with sesame seeds and scallions.

Notes

  • * To blanch the broccoli- bring a big pot of water to boil. Drop the florets into the water and cook for two to three minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Immediately drain in a colander and put in an ice bath (a large bowl filled with ice water), which will stop the cooking process. Once the broccoli is cool, drain in the colander again.
