- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets

- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
- Place beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper and cook until no longer pink. Drain fat and remove from pan.
- Add the olive oil to pan and heat through. Add the broccoli and onion and cook over medium-high heat until crisp tender, about 4-5 minutes. (If you want your broccoli softer, cover the pan to steam it.)

- Serve over rice.
