Instructions

Place broccoli in a skillet, adding enough water to come halfway up the sides. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch until combined. Set aside.
Heat sesame oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion, cooking until the beef is browned and onion softens. Drain excess grease, season with salt and pepper, then add the broccoli and sauce mixture. Cook until the sauce thickens.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve with rice.

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen broccoli for this recipe. Adjust cooking time as necessary when using frozen.
For added flavor, consider marinating the beef in the sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
