1lb ground beef

12oz broccoli crowns chopped into small pieces

2c cooked rice

2 green onions chopped (optional)

sesame seeds (optional)

1/4c coconut aminos

1T brown sugar

2t minced garlic about 4 cloves

2t sesame oil

1t ground ginger

1/4-1/2t crushed red pepper, depending on taste

2t potato starch dissolved in 1/4c water

Start the rice cooking first so that it’s ready for serving.

Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just cooked through, breaking it into bite-sized pieces as you go, but not crumbling. Drain the fat and return the beef to the pan.

While the beef is cooking, combine the sauce ingredients (coconut aminos, brown sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, ground ginger, crushed red pepper) and chop your broccoli. Stir the broccoli and sauce into the skillet with the browned ground beef.

Continue to stir fry the beef and veggies over medium-high heat for about five minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender and sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.

Stir in potato starch and water to thicken into a sauce.

Serve your beef & broccoli stir fry over cooked rice, topped with chopped green onion and sesame seeds (optional).
