2 cups, florets cut into 1-inch pieces broccoli
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves, minced garlic
1, juiced lemon
to taste salt
to taste black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles, and cook 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate.
