Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 1 minute). Add 8 oz ground beef and 1/2 tsp salt, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula until golden brown (3-4 minutes), then transfer to a plate.
2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in 2 cups broccoli florets and 3 minced garlic cloves, stirring constantly until broccoli is crisp-tender and edges are slightly charred (4-5 minutes).
3. Step 3: Return cooked ground beef to the skillet with 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute until sauce bubbles and coats the beef evenly, with no raw garlic smell.
