Enjoy a quick and easy Honey Garlic Ground Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry, a flavorful and healthy Asian-inspired dinner perfect for busy weeknights. This recipe combines savory ground beef, crisp broccoli, and a delicious honey garlic sauce for a satisfying meal that takes just minutes to prepare.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 teaspoons water)
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Pour in the sauce and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Add to the skillet to thicken the sauce if needed. Remove from heat once the desired consistency is reached.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot over rice or your preferred side.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for a vibrant flavor.
  • Prepare all ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking process.
  • Adjust the sweetness or saltiness of the sauce according to your taste.
  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes.
