Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prep a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, green onions, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined and shape into meatballs.
  3. Place meatballs on one side of the baking sheet. Toss broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread it on the other side.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes until meatballs are crispy outside and broccoli is tender.
  5. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, water, vinegar, and red pepper flakes, cooking for 10 minutes.
  6. Mix cornstarch with ½ cup water to create a slurry. Whisk it into the skillet after 10 minutes and cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  7. Toss hot meatballs in the thickened sauce to coat well.
  8. Serve over rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
