Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head or 2 crowns broccoli, about 1 pound, cut into small florets
- ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin rice wine
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste, or fresh minced ginger
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

- 1 cup coarsely chopped sweet yellow onion, not diced
- kosher salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced on the bias
- cooked white or brown rice, optional for serving
Instructions
- Place the broccoli in a skillet, adding enough water to reach halfway up the sides. Bring to a boil on high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, ginger paste, and cornstarch until combined. Set aside.
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onion softens. Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper. Incorporate the broccoli and stir fry sauce, cooking until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let rest before serving.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with rice if desired.
