4 Ingredient Broccoli Beef

This broccoli beef has become one of my go-to recipes because it's quick, easy, and delicious. My toddler loves it (minus the broccoli) and calls it sticky beef. 

Here's what you need:

a pound of ground beef
a broccoli crown
soy sauce
brown sugar

That's it. And salt and pepper for seasoning your beef, if you want to get fancy. It's also scrumptious served over sticky rice. So you're looking at a maximum of 7 ingredients if you want all the extras, which is still pretty sweet.

Thoroughly cook ground beef in a skillet. At the same time, broil broccoli florets in the oven until toasted to your desired level of brown-ness. Once the beef is cooked, mix together roughly equal amounts of soy sauce and brown sugar (err on the side of more soy sauce; I usually do about a quarter cup of each) and pour over the beef. Simmer for a couple of minutes to let the flavors combine. 

If I'm serving this over rice, I'll layer rice on the bottom, broccoli in the middle, saucy beef on top.
