Preparation
Cook the rice
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ½ the ginger and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Roast the broccoli & peanuts
Meanwhile, on a lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli (halve if large) with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender. In the final 4 min., add the peanuts and ½ the garlic.
Cook & coat the beef
Meanwhile, in a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the remaining garlic and ginger. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the beef*; season with the remaining spices and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through. Add the soy sauce, vinegar and 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the beef and broccoli. Garnish with the peanuts. Bon appétit!
