Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
- 1 small carrot (julienned or finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 stalks green onions (sliced for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
- 4 servings steamed white rice or noodles
Instructions
Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and fully cooked, draining any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the julienned or chopped carrot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables in the skillet, stirring to coat everything evenly.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this into the skillet and stir to thicken the sauce, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Serve the beef mixture over steamed white rice or noodles for a complete meal.
