Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp sesame oil
⅓ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ginger
2 cups broccoli florets
Optional: sesame seeds, green onion for garnish
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, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
-
Make the Sauce: Stir in garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
-
Add the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and bright green.
-
Serve: Serve the teriyaki ground beef and broccoli over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
Notes

Spicy Kick: Add sriracha or red pepper flakes for extra heat.

Vegetarian Version: Swap ground beef for ground tofu or tempeh for a plant-based option.
-
Extra Veggies: Add bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for more flavor and color.
-
Rice or Noodles: Serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option or with soba noodles for a hearty version.
-
Peanut Sauce: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the sauce for a creamy, nutty twist.
-
-
Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of soy sauce or water, or microwave individual portions.
