Ground Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry
Juicy beef and crisp-tender broccoli tossed in a glossy garlic-ginger sauce : faster than takeout, twice as satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0,33 cups soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1
Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and cornstarch with 3 tbsp water to make the sauce.
- 2
Brown 1 lb ground beef in a hot skillet, breaking it up, until no pink remains; drain excess fat.
- 3
Push beef aside, add garlic and ginger, and stir 30 seconds until aromatic.
- 4
Add broccoli florets and 2 tbsp water; cover and steam 3 minutes until bright green.
- 5
Pour in the sauce and toss over high heat until thickened and glossy, 1 minute.
- 6
Finish with sesame seeds and serve over rice.
Chef's tip
Cook the beef in a wide, very hot skillet without crowding so it browns and caramelizes instead of steaming in its own juices.
Suggested pairing
A lightly chilled Riesling balances the salty-sweet sauce.
