Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1/2 zucchini, sliced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (for sautéing)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (additional for sautéing)
- 1 cup steamed white rice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the produce by washing and chopping the broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms. Mince both portions of garlic, and measure out the remaining ingredients.
- Warm the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces and cooking until browned and no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce, chili flakes, and brown sugar, and let simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté the second portion of minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, and then add broccoli, zucchini, and bell pepper, cooking until tender-crisp.
- Combine the beef and vegetable mixtures in the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce.
- Serve over bowls of steamed white rice, garnishing with any remaining pan sauce.
