Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cups cooked white rice

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Garnishes (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Add minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant to build the flavor base.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spoon to break it apart and cook until it is browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary to prevent greasiness.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the broccoli florets and julienned carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
  4. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until the mixture is smooth and the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  5. Cook with Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and evenly coat the beef and veggies.
  6. Serve: Spoon the beef teriyaki mixture over cooked white rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired for added flavor and presentation.
  7. Store Leftovers: Transfer any leftovers to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making this recipe ideal for meal prep.

Notes

  • Use low sodium soy sauce to control the salt content of the dish.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
  • If you prefer leaner meat, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
  • You can customize the vegetables by adding bell peppers or snap peas.
  • Make sure to stir the sauce constantly when simmering to prevent lumps and burning.
  • Leftover rice can be refrigerated separately and reheated with a splash of water to maintain moisture.
