Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, then drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until combined. Pour this sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and broccoli.
- Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove from heat. Serve the stir fry over cooked rice or noodles and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
