Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup carrots, julienned

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1/3 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

3 cups cooked white rice

2 tablespoons green onions, chopped

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.

2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Toss in the broccoli florets and carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water.

5. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir everything to coat well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

6. Serve over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

7. Let cool and divide into meal prep containers. Store in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

For a lower-carb version, swap the white rice with cauliflower rice.

Double the sauce if you like it extra saucy or want to drizzle some on veggies or rice later.

Use pre-chopped vegetables or a stir-fry blend to save even more time.
