Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cloves 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup 1 cup chopped white onion (about 1 medium onion)
- 1 lb 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean recommended)
- 3 cups 3 cups broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup 1 cup honey garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups 4 cups cooked rice, for serving
- 1 tbsp 1 tbsp olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
- Add the lean ground beef to the pan. Break it apart using a spatula and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until it’s browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the chopped broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is slightly tender yet still crisp.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture, stirring well to coat everything. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat and thicken slightly.
- Serve the mixture over bowls of cooked rice.
Notes
For serving, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
