Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 medium head)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes or sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula; drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in garlic and ginger; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add broccoli florets and remaining 1 tbsp oil; stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss to coat beef and broccoli evenly.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute or two until sauce thickens.
- Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or optional red pepper flakes.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a keto-friendly version, use low-sodium soy sauce and skip hoisin sauce.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for beef.
- Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles.
- Prep vegetables ahead of time to speed up the cooking process.
