- 1 egg

- 3 T olive oil
*Broccoli*
- 2 stalks broccoli chopped
- 3-4 T olive oil
- ¼ t salt
- ¼ t pepper
Brown Sauce
- ½ c soy sauce . + 2 T. , gluten free (or non-GF if not GF)
- 2/3 c water

- 1 T sesame oil
- ½ - 1 t Sriracha sauce

For the Beef Meatballs:
Combine all ingredients, except olive oil, and mix until well combined. Roll meatballs into about 26-30 small meatballs.
Heat deep skillet or pan to medium heat with olive oil in it. Place meatballs in the pan and cook for 10-14 minutes, flipping the meatballs about 3 to 4 times to ensure even cooking. I like to cut one of the meatballs open to make sure they are at least almost completely done before moving on to the next step (since they will cook a little more).
For the Broccoli:
If you would like your broccoli roasted, preheat oven to 375 degrees while meatballs are cooking.
Toss chopped broccoli in olive oil, salt and pepper and lay flat on a baking sheet.
Bake for 8—10 minutes.
(You can also steam your broccoli and the dish will taste great, too!)
To Combine:
While broccoli is in the oven and the meatballs are almost done cooking, combine all brown sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour mixture into meatball skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk for 4-5 minutes on a low simmer.
Turn off heat and mix in broccoli. Serve with rice or rice noodles. Enjoy!
