Calories: 495kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 12 oz Baby Broccoli or Broccolini halved and cut into 1" pieces
- 1 medium White Onion medium-diced
- 1 pinch Salt and Pepper
- 16 oz Extra Lean Ground Beef
- 2 bags (10 oz each) Frozen Steamed Jasmine Rice or 4 cups steamed rice
- 2 Green Onions thinly sliced (for serving)
For the Beef Sauce
- ¼ cup (72g) Hoisin Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut Aminos
- 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha
- 2 Tablespoons Water
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding the broccoli and onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so, until the veggies soften and begin to brown in spots. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the beef to the pan and brown one side for 2-3 minutes before breaking apart and fully cooking. Mix the sauce ingredients together and add to the fully cooked ground beef. Stir to fully coat the beef then leave untouched for 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces and begins to caramelize on the bottom.
- Add the veggies back to the pan and toss together with the beef.
- Serve over the microwaved steamed rice with sliced green onions.
