Is ground beef and broccoli healthy?

Yes! Lean ground beef provides protein and iron, while broccoli adds fiber and vitamins. Using low-sodium soy sauce keeps it balanced.

What kind of sauce goes with beef and broccoli?

A simple mix of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar creates a savory-sweet glaze. For extra depth, add oyster sauce or hoisin.

Avoid overcooking the beef—brown it quickly on high heat. For extra tenderness, use ground beef with a bit of fat (85% lean).

Absolutely! Thaw and pat dry to prevent excess water. Fresh broccoli has better texture, but frozen works in a pinch.

Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned.
Stir in broccoli florets and cook for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
