Ingredients

For the beef and broccoli:

1 tablespoon neutral-flavored oil
1 pound ground beef chuck
6 cups broccoli florets stems trimmed
2 large cloves garlic finely chopped
3 cups long-grain rice cooked and cooled
1 red bell pepper sliced
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon light brown sugar

Optional, for garnish:

4 scallions thinly sliced
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Directions

In a large skillet over high heat, add the oil.
Add the ground beef to the hot oil and press it into a thin layer covering the bottom of the skillet.
Cook the beef, undisturbed, until browned, about 3 minutes.
Stir the beef, slightly crumbling it.
Add the broccoli and the garlic to the beef and cook, while stirring occasionally, until the broccoli softens, about 6 minutes.
Add the rice and the bell pepper slices to the beef mixture and cook, while stirring often, until the rice is heated through and starts to brown, about 6 minutes.
In a small bowl, add the soy sauce, the vinegar, the sesame oil, and the brown sugar and stir to combine.
Add the soy sauce mixture to the beef mixture in the skillet and stir to coat.
Serve garnished with the scallions, the salt, and the crushed red pepper.
