Ingredients
Scale
For the Stir Fry:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
For Serving:
- cooked rice
- sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed and remove beef from the skillet.
- Sauté the Broccoli: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté the broccoli for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Stir everything together and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Serve: Serve hot over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
- You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken.
- For extra heat, add crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha to the sauce.
