Instructions
- Cook rice according to package instructions.
- Defrost your broccoli using a steamer basket or in the microwave. Once defrosted, use a knife to chop the broccoli into small florets.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add ground beef to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper. Break up the ground beef using the bottom of a wooden spatula. Cook, stirring frequently until beef is no longer pink in colour (about 4 minutes). Line a plate with a paper towel, drain excess grease and add beef to the paper towel to absorb any remaining grease.
- While your beef is cooking, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and sriracha.
- To the same pan, reduce the heat to low and add your sauce. Once the sauce begins to bubble, whisk and add the cornstarch (it is important to continue whisking while you add cornstarch to stop clumps from forming).
- Add cooked ground beef back into the pan along with the defrosted steamed broccoli.Stir to combine and allow to cook for about 5 minutes to heat the broccoli.
Serve over the rice and top with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
