Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Use Halal-compliant beef.
  • 2 cups broccoli florets Fresh is preferred, but frozen can be used.
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Choose your favorite type.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping your onion and mincing the garlic.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic into the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent.
  3. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Cover with a lid for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  5. Mix gently and serve warm, optionally paired with a fresh salad.

Notes

For substitutions, ground chicken or turkey can be used. Be careful not to overcook the broccoli to keep its al dente texture. Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or frozen for up to a month.
