Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup onions small diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
- 8 ounces broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 ½ teaspoons mirin
- ¼ cup soy sauce plus 1 teaspoon
- 4 ½ tablespoons oyster sauce
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ½ cups beef stock or water
- 1 ½ cups white rice cooked
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Bring a medium saucepan to a boil and blanch the broccoli for 2 minutes. Remove from the pot and add to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Strain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat begin browning the meat, crumbling it as it cooks. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt and ⅓ teaspoon of pepper. Add the onions to the pan and continue cooking until the meat is browned. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and strain off the fat.
- While the meat is browning mix together the mirin, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, beef stock and cornstarch.
- After the meat has been strained add it back to the pan along with the broccoli. Pour in the sauce and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve over rice and enjoy!
