Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef 93% lean
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 small onion sliced thin
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Hot cooked rice for serving

Instructions

  • Place beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper and cook until no longer pink. Drain fat and remove from pan.
  • Add the olive oil to pan and heat through. Add the broccoli and onion and cook over medium-high heat until crisp tender, about 4-5 minutes. (If you want your broccoli softer, cover the pan to steam it.)
  • Meanwhile, mix together water, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and cornstarch.
  • Once the broccoli is finished cooking, add the meat back to the pan. Stir in soy sauce mixture and cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve over rice.
