Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Uncooked white rice
• 2.5 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Onion, diced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Add the broccoli florets to the pan, gently pressing them into the rice. Cover the pan again and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the rice has absorbed all the liquid.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Fluff the beefy broccoli rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
