Description
This Beef and Broccoli Rice Skillet is a flavorful one-pot dish combining tender ground beef, fresh broccoli, and aromatic basmati rice, all brought together with a sweet soy sauce and topped with toasted sesame seeds. It's a perfect meal for a quick and easy dinner with minimal cleanup.
Lighter Version
Skip the step of toasting the sesame seeds and use pre-made garlic and ginger paste. Reduce the simmering time by cooking the broccoli separately in the microwave and adding it at the end.
