The irresistible sweet-savory sauce paired with tender beef and crisp broccoli creates a flavor-packed meal, turning a busy weeknight into a culinary win that everyone will love.
Why This Stir-Fry Is a Crowd-Pleaser
This recipe’s magic lies in its simplicity: faster than takeout, boldly flavored, and requiring just one pan. The honey garlic sauce glazes each bite, while the ground beef absorbs every nuance. Fresh broccoli adds a pop of color and nutrients, guaranteeing a dish that’s as healthy as it is satisfying.
Getting Your Prep Work Done Quickly
Efficiency is key for stir-frying success. Slice your broccoli florets and prep your aromatics in minutes using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper—perfect for finely chopping onions or garlic without fuss. For easy cleanup, set your chopped veggies aside in the Bentgo Salad Container until you’re ready to cook. This also makes it a breeze to prep ingredients ahead of time.
The Secret to Tender Ground Beef and Broccoli
Use a large, deep skillet for even browning and crisping. The SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet is ideal here: nonstick, easy to clean, and just the right size for family meals. Break up the beef efficiently with the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher to create crumbles that get coated in that sticky honey garlic goodness.
Tips for Flavorful, Fast Sauce
A great stir-fry hinges on a balanced sauce. Whisk soy sauce, honey, garlic, and a dash of sriracha together until smooth. For a silky sauce texture, quickly blend the cornstarch slurry using the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender. This ensures no lumps and beautiful, glossy coverage over your ingredients.
How To Serve & Store for Maximum Freshness
Pair this stir-fry with steamed jasmine rice or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option. Leftovers? Portion into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for tomorrow’s lunch—they’re leak-proof and microwave-friendly, keeping your meal as tasty as the night before.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Chop broccoli into small, bite-sized florets with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. Finely dice onion and mince garlic. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef, breaking it up with the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5–6 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Push beef to the side. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil and broccoli to the pan. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until bright green but still crisp-tender.

- Pour sauce over the beef and broccoli. Toss well to coat. Simmer 1–2 minutes, until sauce has thickened and broccoli is tender but not mushy.
