Ingredients
1 lb Ground Beef (85/15 fat ratio)
4 cups Broccoli florets
1 tbsp Ginger, freshly grated
1/4 cup Low sodium soy sauce
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Sesame oil
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp High-smoke point cooking oil (for searing)
Salt to taste
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with half the ginger, half the garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Form the mixture into small, tightly packed one-inch meatballs.
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown the meatballs on all sides for about 6 minutes until golden.
Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet and sear until lightly charred and tender-crisp.
Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, remaining ginger, remaining garlic, and sesame oil.
Return the meatballs to the skillet with the broccoli.
Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
Notes
Ensure the broccoli is cut into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Using 85/15 beef ensures the meatballs stay succulent. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
