Ingredients

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup chopped white onion

1 lb lean ground beef

3 cups broccoli florets, chopped small

1 cup honey garlic sauce

4 cups cooked rice (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the onion turns translucent.

  2. Add the ground beef to the pan and break it apart. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until no longer pink. Use a paper towel to absorb excess grease if necessary.

  3. Add the chopped broccoli to the pan, stirring well. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is crisp-tender.

  4. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture. Stir to combine, and cook for 1-2 more minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and coat the ingredients evenly.

  5. Serve the beef and broccoli mixture over cooked rice, or enjoy it on its own.

Notes

  • Variations: You can swap out broccoli for other veggies like carrots, cauliflower, or snap peas. Add chili flakes or sriracha for extra heat. Serve over noodles or quinoa for a different base, or use ground turkey/chicken for a lighter version.

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium-high heat.

  • Gluten-Free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but ensure that your honey garlic sauce is gluten-free if you're sensitive to gluten.
