Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.
  2. Once the beef is cooked, add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Stir and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in 4 cups of broccoli florets along with ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and ½ cup beef broth. Mix everything together thoroughly.
  4. If you'd like a thicker sauce, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly.
  5. Finally, stir in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa.
