Instructions

1. 1.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the lean ground beef. Break up the beef with a wooden spoon, cooking until it's browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary to keep the dish healthy.
2. 2.
   While the beef is cooking, lightly beat the eggs in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once the beef is cooked, push it to one side of the skillet to make space for the eggs. Pour the eggs into the empty side and scramble them gently. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and cook until just set, then mix them with the beef.
3. 3.
   Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, distributing them evenly. Pour the low-sodium soy sauce over the mixture. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp, roughly 3-4 minutes. If the broccoli isn't cooking evenly, add a tablespoon of water and cover the skillet briefly to steam.
4. 4.
   Continue to stir the mixture, ensuring the soy sauce is well distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you like a bit more flavor, add a dash of black pepper or a sprinkle of chili flakes for heat.
5. 5.
   Once the broccoli is cooked and the flavors have melded together, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve immediately on a plate, ensuring an even distribution of beef, eggs, and broccoli. For a presentation tip, garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or freshly chopped green onions if desired.
