Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Sauce
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger
Optional Garnish
- Sesame seeds
- Green onion, sliced
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat to reduce grease.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar into the skillet with the beef. Let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes to meld the flavors and create the teriyaki sauce.
- Add the Broccoli: Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet crisp and bright green.
- Serve: Spoon the teriyaki ground beef and broccoli over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with optional sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an added burst of flavor and texture.
