Instructions

    3. Sauté for another minute.
    4. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

  4. Combine and Thicken:

    2. Pour the sauce over everything.
    3. Stir everything together, sautéing until the sauce thickens and coats everything completely.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar or soy sauce to your taste.
  • For a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
  • You can use frozen broccoli florets instead of fresh.
  • If you don’t have beef broth, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of ground beef.
  • Add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or mushrooms for variety.
