Ground Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients

• ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 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))

Steps

1. Whisk the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
2. Heat the sesame oil in a big deep skillet over medium-high. Cook the beef and onion until the beef is almost done, about 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the sauce and cook 1 minute. Add the broccoli and cook 1 minute more.
4. Serve over rice and top with sesame seeds and scallions.

Good to know

The original blanches the broccoli first (a quick dip in boiling water) so it cooks fast in the pan.
