Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
4 cups broccoli florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
3 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked and crumbled. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Add broccoli florets and a splash of water to the skillet. Cover and let steam for 2–4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
3. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
4. Pour the sauce into the skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Serve over warm cooked rice and top with sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Don’t overcook the broccoli—it should be vibrant green and slightly crisp.
For added spice, stir in red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha.
