Preparation and Cooking

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Add the ground beef, green onions, ginger, and garlic to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until just combined. Roll into tablespoon-size balls, placing them on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Add the broccoli to the other side of the baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet add the oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, water, rice wine vinegar and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook over medium-high heat, for about 10 minutes. Whisk together cornstarch with ½ cup water and add to your sauce. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet of sauce and toss, until the sauce coats the meatballs.
  • Serve the meatballs and remaining sauce over bowls of rice topped with additional green onions and sesame seeds. Serve the broccoli on the side.
