Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 800 g Lean Beef Mince Brings richness and flavor while staying lean.
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced or grated Adds a robust and aromatic essence.
  • 100 ml Low Sodium Soy Sauce Enhances the umami flavor.
  • 40 g Honey Natural sweetener that balances savory notes.
  • 1 Tbsp Peanut Oil Perfect for high-heat cooking.
  • 300 g Jasmine Rice, washed Aromatic and fluffy rice pairing well with beef.
  • 500 ml Cold Water Needed for cooking the rice.
  • Salt Essential for seasoning.
  • 1 large head Broccoli, florets and stems trimmed Adds vibrant color and healthy crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Place the rice into a saucepan with cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then let it steam for 4 minutes.
  2. Cut the broccoli into evenly sized florets, trim the woody ends, and slice the tender inner stem. Steam the broccoli parts over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until just tender.
Cooking
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and ground white pepper until combined.
  2. Heat peanut oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef mince and a small pinch of salt. Sear undisturbed for 1 minute, break it up, and cook for another 7-8 minutes until browned.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and add steamed broccoli. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Serving
  1. Divide the sticky garlic beef into meal prep containers and allow to cool slightly before sealing.

Notes

To elevate the dish, marinate the beef in soy sauce and honey for up to an hour before cooking. Consider adding chopped peanuts or sesame seeds for crunch. Adjust garlic level in the sauce to preference.
