Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (substitute with ground turkey for a lighter option)
- 3 cups broccoli florets, washed and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Crank up the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute.
- Add the broccoli florets, stirring well to coat them in the beefy mixture.
- Pour in the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and clings to the beef and broccoli.
- Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, perhaps alongside some steamed jasmine rice, just as Mama Lu would have done with her Sunday roasts.
