Ingredients

For the Beef and Broccoli

1 lb Ground Beef (80% lean)
1 head Broccoli Look for tight, dark green florets

For the Sauce and Aromatics

1 tablespoon Olive Oil Essential for sautéing
1 tablespoon Minced Ginger Fresh is best
3 cloves Minced Garlic Avoid burning
½ cup Teriyaki Sauce Choose gluten-free if required

For Garnishing

2 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seeds For nutty crunch
2 scallions Sliced Scallions Use fresh

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes until they develop a slight char. Stir and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until nearly tender. Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, add ½ tablespoon of olive oil, then add the ground beef. Brown on one side for about 3-4 minutes. Break apart with a spatula and cook until fully browned for another 3-4 minutes, draining excess fat if necessary.
Create a space in the center of the browned ground beef by pushing it to the sides. Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, avoiding burning the garlic.
Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet, stirring gently to ensure even coating. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the sautéed broccoli to the skillet, gently folding it into the ground beef. Stir together for 1-2 minutes until heated through while maintaining the broccoli's color and crispness.
Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Enjoy your homemade delight!

Notes

For a thicker sauce, allow it to reduce slightly during cooking, and stir well for even coating. Leftovers can be stored for 3-4 days in the fridge or frozen for longer storage.
