Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) avocado oil
  • 1 tsp (5g) kosher salt
  • ½ tsp (3g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 medium (150g) yellow onion, diced
  • 1 large (150g) red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups (180g) broccoli florets, bite-sized
  • 3 cloves (15g) garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) honey
  • 1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp (5g) fresh ginger, grated

Instructions:

  1. Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the ground beef in a thick layer, seasoning with salt and pepper. Press down with the spatula and leave it undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until a mahogany crust forms.
  3. Break the meat into small crumbles and cook until no longer pink.
  4. Push the beef to the outer edges of the pan. Toss the diced onion and red bell pepper into the center and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  5. Stir in the broccoli and garlic, tossing everything together for another 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  6. Whisk the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and ginger in a small bowl.
  7. Pour the mixture over the beef and vegetable medley. Stir constantly for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce into a velvety glaze.
  8. Remove from heat immediately to prevent the honey from burning.
