Description
A quick and comforting sweet-and-savory skillet meal featuring ground beef and broccoli, served over rice.
Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chopped white onion (about 1 medium onion)
- 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean recommended)
- 3 cups broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup honey garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups cooked rice, for serving
- 1 tbsp olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan. Cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the lean ground beef. Break it apart with your spatula and cook 3–4 minutes, until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if your pan has a lot.
- Stir in the chopped broccoli florets. Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is slightly tender but still has a bit of crispness.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the beef and broccoli. Stir well so everything is coated. Cook 1–2 minutes more, letting the sauce heat through and thicken a little.
- Scoop cooked rice into bowls and top with the honey garlic ground beef and broccoli. Serve hot.
Notes
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Don’t overcook the broccoli for a nice crisp texture.
