Gather these ingredients to create a dish that will warm your heart and soul:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
Follow these steps to bring a bit of Devon magic into your kitchen:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. The aroma of onions sizzling in the pan always reminds me of my mum’s cozy kitchen.
- Add the garlic and ground ginger, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute. This step always makes me smile, as the scent of ginger is like a warm hug from the past.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon — there’s something nostalgic about using a wooden spoon, isn’t there?
- Cook the beef until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the broccoli florets to the pan, stirring to combine. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it steam for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
- Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, ensuring everything is well-coated. If you fancy a bit of heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Serve hot, and enjoy a dish that’s as heartwarming as a Devonshire sunset.
