Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- â…“ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Optional Garnish
- Sesame seeds
- Green onion, sliced
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar into the beef. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Add the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring well to coat them evenly in the teriyaki sauce. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet still bright green.
- Serve: Serve the teriyaki ground beef and broccoli mixture over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a healthier option, lean ground beef can be used to reduce fat content.
- Adjust the brown sugar amount to balance sweetness according to your taste.
- Additional vegetables like bell peppers or carrots can be added for extra color and nutrition.
- To keep broccoli crispier, cook for less time or steam separately.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
