Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Spatula
  • Steamer basket or pot for steaming broccoli
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar-free sweetener of choice
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • While the beef is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until just tender, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside.
  • Remove the ground beef from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Return the ground beef to the skillet with the garlic and ginger. Add the steamed broccoli.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce or coconut aminos, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, sweetener, and red pepper flakes if using.
  • Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli in the skillet, stirring to coat. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

For those who prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum with the sauce before adding it to the skillet.
If you're avoiding soy, coconut aminos are a great alternative with a similar umami profile and lower carbs.
For extra heat, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
