Ingredients
  

  • For the Skillet
  • 1 lb about 450g ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb about 450g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 garlic cloves minced

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes optional
  • 2 scallions sliced, for serving
  • Toasted sesame seeds for serving

Method
 

  1. Season the ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a flat layer, sear undisturbed 2 to 3 minutes, then break apart. Cook until no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove.
  3. Add the olive oil. Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer.
  4. Cook undisturbed 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. Stir and cook 2 to 3 minutes more.
  5. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and chili flakes.
  7. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and toss to coat.
  8. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until heated through and glazed. Top with scallions and sesame seeds.
