Follow these steps to create a delicious honey garlic beef and broccoli dish.

• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if you're using them).
• In a separate small cup, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set both the sauce and the slurry aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it softens.
• Next, add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it's browned and fully cooked. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until it's fragrant.
• Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with the beef. Stir everything well to combine.
• Pour ¼ cup of water into the pan, cover it with a lid, and let the broccoli steam for 3-4 minutes until it's tender but still crisp.
• Give the prepared honey garlic sauce a quick stir, then pour it over the beef and broccoli. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
• Add the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit for a minute to allow the sauce to settle. Serve your honey garlic beef and broccoli over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for extra flavor.
