Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion (medium, chopped)
- 4 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cup broccoli florets
- 1.5 cup beef broth (no-salt-added)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cup brown rice (cooked)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add lean ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain any excess fat and set beef aside.
- Add chopped yellow onion to the same skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and grated fresh ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together no-salt-added beef broth, white vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Pour the broth mixture over the beef and broccoli. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
- Serve the Beef-Broccoli Medley immediately over cooked brown rice.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are prepped and ready before you start cooking, as stir-fries cook very quickly. For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
