Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 lb Ground Beef 80/20 ground chuck recommended
  • 1/2 cup Yellow Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets fresh
  • 1/2 cup Beef Broth
  • 1.5 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet (12-inch) A cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet works best.
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Knife

Method
 

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Add the broccoli florets and beef broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  4. Uncover the skillet and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover again, and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: For best results, shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
Tip 2: Don't overcook the broccoli; it's best when it's bright green and still has a slight bite.
Tip 3: This dish is great for meal prep! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
