Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300 g)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (60 ml), preferably Kikkoman
  • 2 tablespoons honey (30 ml)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Cooked jasmine rice or brown rice, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to come to temperature for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Adjust sweetness or saltiness to taste.
  3. Add the ground beef to the sauce and mix well to coat evenly.
  4. On a large rimmed sheet pan, spread the ground beef on one half, breaking it up slightly. Arrange the broccoli florets evenly on the other half, ensuring not to overcrowd.
  5. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then stir the beef and broccoli to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  6. Continue roasting for another 8-10 minutes until the beef is cooked through and broccoli is tender with crispy edges.
  7. Remove from oven and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  8. Serve warm over steamed jasmine or brown rice.

Notes

Preheat oven fully for best caramelization. Stir halfway through roasting to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. Toss broccoli with a little oil before roasting for crispness. Use tamari for gluten-free version. Optional to add a fried egg on top or swap broccoli with cauliflower or bell peppers. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat quickly to maintain broccoli texture.
