Equipment
- 1 large skillet or wok
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
- 1 cup onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce optional
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the broccoli. If using fresh, steam or blanch the florets until bright green and tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. If using frozen, thaw and drain.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and water to create a sauce.
- Once the beef is cooked, add the broccoli to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the broccoli to heat through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm over cooked rice.
