Instructions

Fill a 12-inch skillet with water and place broccoli in it, bringing it to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes until just fork tender. Drain and rinse with cold water, then set aside.
In a measuring cup, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, ginger paste, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
In the same skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat, then add the ground beef and onion. Cook while breaking up the beef to retain some texture until done and onions soften.
Drain excess grease, season with salt and pepper, then add broccoli and stir fry sauce. Cook while stirring constantly until thickened, then remove from heat to rest before serving.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, serve with rice if desired.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the level of soy sauce based on your salt preference.
Using fresh ginger will enhance the flavor profile of this dish beautifully.
