Description
A quick and delicious dish featuring lean ground beef stir-fried with broccoli and coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chopped white onion (about 1 medium onion)
- 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean recommended)
- 3 cups broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup honey garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups cooked rice, for serving
- 1 tbsp olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the lean ground beef to the pan. Break the beef apart using a spatula and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until it is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the chopped broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is slightly tender but still has a bit of crispness.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture, stirring until well coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through and thicken the sauce slightly.
- Scoop the cooked rice into bowls, then top with the honey garlic ground beef and broccoli mixture. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
- Add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for variety.
- Swap white rice with brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a healthier base.
