Ground Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Recipe View Prepare Ingredients (5 minutes): Gather all ingredients and have them prepped and ready to go. This ensures a smooth and efficient cooking process.

Recipe View Whisk the Sauce (2 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar until well combined and the sugar and cornstarch are fully dissolved. Set aside.

Recipe View Sauté the Aromatics and Broccoli (8-10 minutes): Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the thinly sliced yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli florets and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp, and the onion is lightly browned, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the broccoli mixture to a plate and set aside. Do not wipe the skillet clean.

Recipe View Brown the Ground Beef (5-7 minutes): Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil to the skillet. Add the ground beef and kosher salt. Cook, stirring frequently to break the meat into even crumbles, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Recipe View Thicken the Sauce (3-5 minutes): Whisk the broth mixture again to ensure the cornstarch is evenly distributed. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy, about 3-5 minutes.

Recipe View Combine and Serve (3-4 minutes): Return the broccoli mixture to the skillet with the ground beef and sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce evenly coats the meat and vegetables, about 3-4 minutes. Serve hot over cooked jasmine or sticky rice. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
