Can I make Ground Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry ahead of time?

Absolutely! Stays good in the fridge for about three days, and leftovers taste even better, honestly.

Can I use frozen broccoli?

Yes, thaw and pat dry first. Reduce cooking time by 1-2 minutes.

What’s the best kind of ground beef to use?

Lean ground beef is my pick, but anything works. Just drain a little extra fat off the fattier stuff.

How do I know the sauce is thick enough?

It should coat a spoon and cling to the ingredients. Simmer longer if too thin.

Instructions

Cook the white rice according to package instructions or personal preference.
Trim the broccoli florets from the main stalk, aiming for similar sized pieces. Slice the onion and mince the garlic and ginger if not using prepared options.
Stir all sauce ingredients together in a measuring cup (beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes). Whisk until combined. Stir the cornstarch into the cold water to form a slurry and set aside.
Once ready to cook, heat a large skillet over high heat. Once heated, add the cooking oil. Add the broccoli and onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the onions are browned, about 4–5 minutes. Transfer into a prep bowl and set aside.
In the same pan, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Cook until no pink remains, about 4 to 5 minutes. Option to drain the ground beef before adding the prepared sauce ingredients and stir to deglaze the bottom of the skillet. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir to combine. Simmer 2–3 minutes or until the sauce is thickened to a gravy consistency.
Fold in the broccoli and onions, stirring until all ingredients are coated in the sauce. Serve over white rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and additional red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For extra heat, increase the red pepper flakes. You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for beef if preferred.
