Ground Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry (Wagyu) is a quick, weeknight favorite: tender broccoli and Jimmy P’s Ground Wagyu in a glossy ginger-garlic soy sauce. Serve over steamed white rice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 6 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (from 1-inch piece)
- 2 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil (such as canola), divided
- 12 ounces (about 5 1/4 cups) fresh broccoli florets
- 1 pound Jimmy P’s Ground Wagyu
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
- Steamed white rice, for serving
Make the Sauce
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar until the sugar dissolves and no cornstarch lumps remain. Set aside.
Cook the Broccoli
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
- Add the broccoli florets and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp and lightly charred in spots, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer broccoli to a large bowl; set aside.
Brown the Beef & Add the Sauce
- Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet.
- Add the ground Wagyu and sprinkle with salt. Cook, breaking into crumbles, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk the sauce once more, then pour it into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and glossy, about 3 minutes.
Assemble & Serve
- Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss until everything is evenly coated and the sauce clings to the meat and vegetables, about 3 minutes.
- Top with sesame seeds and green onions (if using). Serve hot over steamed white rice.
Tips
- For extra sauce, add 1/4–1/3 cup water and 1 additional teaspoon cornstarch to the sauce mixture.
- Want heat? Add 1/2–1 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Swap broccoli for broccolini or add sliced bell peppers for more veg.
