02 - 400 g fresh broccoli florets
03 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped

→ Sauce

04 - 120 ml reduced-sodium soy sauce
05 - 120 ml low-sodium beef broth
06 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar
07 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
08 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
09 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
10 - 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
11 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

→ Optional Garnishes

12 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
13 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced

→ Optional Vegetables

14 - 1 bell pepper, diced
15 - 1 carrot, julienned

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Cut the broccoli into small, uniform florets; dice the onion and optional vegetables; mince the garlic and ginger.
02 - In a bowl, combine soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, sriracha, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth.
03 - Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a dash of oil, then sauté onion, broccoli, and any optional vegetables for 4–5 minutes until bright and tender-crisp.
04 - Push vegetables to the side of the pan. Add ground beef to the center and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, for 4–5 minutes until evenly browned and cooked through.
05 - Pour the prepared sauce over the meat and vegetables. Stir thoroughly and simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken and evenly coat all components.
06 - Remove from heat. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Pair with steamed rice or cauliflower rice as desired.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Cut broccoli into uniform pieces for even cooking and a crisp-tender finish.
02 - Leftovers can be refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 4–5 days; store rice and main dish separately to preserve texture.
