Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head or 2 crowns broccoli, about 1 pound, cut into small florets
- ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin rice wine
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste, or fresh minced ginger
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pound 93% lean ground beef
- 1 cup coarsely chopped sweet yellow onion, not diced
- kosher salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced on the bias
- cooked white or brown rice, optional for serving
Instructions
- In a 12-inch skillet, place the broccoli and add enough water to reach halfway up the sides. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes until barely fork tender. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Set aside and wipe the skillet dry.
- In a measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, ginger paste, and cornstarch until combined. Set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion, cooking while breaking up the beef to keep some chunks. Cook until the beef is fully cooked and the onion softens, then drain excess grease. Season with salt and pepper, add broccoli and stir-fry sauce, and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, and serve with rice if desired.
