Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado or vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
  • 1 knob fresh ginger, 1-inch-long, thinly minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly minced
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups rice, cooked

Directions

Step 1 -In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil.

Step 2 -Add the broccoli florets to the heated oil and cook, undisturbed, until they are nicely charred, about 3 minutes.

Step 3 -Continue cooking the broccoli florets, tossing occasionally, until they are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer them to a medium bowl.

Step 4 -Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the beef to the same skillet and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Step 5 -Add the cooked beef to the bowl with the broccoli.

Step 6 -In a small bowl, add the soy sauce, the sesame oil, the rice vinegar, the coconut sugar, the ginger, and the garlic and whisk to combine.

Step 7 -In the same skillet, add the remaining oil.

Step 8 -Add the beaten eggs to the heated oil and cook until they are scrambled, about 30 seconds.

Step 9 -Add the cooked rice and the sauce to the scrambled eggs and toss to combine. Press the rice mixture down in the skillet.

Step 10 -Cook the rice mixture, undisturbed, until the rice is crispy on the bottom, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 11 -Turn off the heat. Add the cooked broccoli florets and the cooked beef to the rice mixture and toss to combine.

Step 12 -Serve.
