Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or honey garlic ground beef for extra flavor)
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for added flavor)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (to thicken sauce)
- Optional garnishes: sesame seeds, sliced green onions
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli softens slightly but remains crisp.
- Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour into the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil.
Notes
- Use high heat to cook swiftly and lock in flavors.
- Prep all ingredients beforehand for quick cooking.
- Adjust the sauce to taste—add honey for sweetness or more soy for saltiness.
- Fresh broccoli provides the best crunch, but frozen works in a pinch.
