Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground beef 93/7
2 tsp. oil or butter (10g)
2 cloves garlic minced
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce (80g)
2 Tbsp. honey (42g)
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1/2 Tbsp. corn starch
1 cup shredded or matchstick carrots (110g)
3 cups broccoli florets (270g) small or roughly chopped

Optional

For serving: cooked rice, roasted or mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes
For topping: Chopped green onions, crushed red pepper or sesame seeds

Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking into tiny crumbles with a wooden spoon or meat masher, until browned, ~ 6–8 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and corn starch.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
Stir in the shredded carrots and chopped broccoli. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I added 1/4 tsp salt + 1/8 tsp pepper)
Serve as is or with cooked rice, roasted potatoes, or sweet potatoes and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftover honey garlic ground beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over medium heat or microwave in 30–60 second intervals until heated through. If the sauce thickens too much after cooling, just add a splash of water while reheating to loosen it.
