Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

3 cups broccoli florets

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/3 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

3 cups cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth.

4. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the beef evenly.

5. Add broccoli florets, cover with a lid, and steam for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.

6. Remove lid and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

7. Drizzle with sesame oil, serve hot over rice or noodles, and enjoy!

Notes

Always cook broccoli just until tender-crisp to maintain its texture and nutrients.

For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha to the sauce.
