Korean beef and broccoli

Made this tonight and it was a really big hit with my boys! I make Korean hamburgers quite a bit and the recipe is pretty similar except you make little patties and fry them up.. This was so good this way and I added in some broccoli because the original recipe felt like it needed "something" My 2 year old is still sitting at the table with me as I type eating his third helping! I am going to put this in our weekly rotation because it took like 10 minutes to make and they really loved it! Mason my six year old kept saying "mommy you're the best cooker ever!" and also that I should get a gold medal for cooking! Gotta love that!!


Ing:
1lb LEAN ground beef or turkey ( must be lean or it will be greasy )
1/4- 1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 c small broccoli florets
1/2 - 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers (to desired spiciness)
salt and pepper
1 bunch green onions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown hamburger with garlic in the sesame oil. Drain most of the fat and add brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper and red peppers. Add broccoli..Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors and until broccoli is tender. Serve over steamed rice and top with green onions.
