Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup beef bone broth
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the beef bone broth, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until the cornstarch is completely invisible. Note: Cornstarch settles quickly, so give it another stir right before you pour it into the pan later.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in your skillet over medium high heat until it shimmers. Add the ground beef in one flat, even layer and let it sear completely undisturbed for 3 minutes until a dark, crispy crust forms on the bottom.
  3. Break the beef into large, bite-sized chunks using a wooden spoon and continue cooking until no pink remains in the center.
  4. Remove the beef from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving as much of that flavorful fat behind as possible.
  5. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan if it looks dry. Toss in the broccoli florets and a tiny splash of water. Cover for 2 minutes until the broccoli is vibrant green and tender crisp.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until the aroma fills the kitchen.
  7. Return the beef to the pan and give your sauce bowl one last whisk. Pour the sauce over everything.
  8. Toss the mixture constantly for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats every piece of beef and broccoli.
  9. Turn off the heat immediately to prevent the sauce from over reducing and becoming sticky.
  10. Garnish with those fresh green onions and serve it up while the sauce is still shimmering and hot. Easy Crockpot Corned Beef & Cabbage: Classic Comfort! — Craving tender corned beef?
