Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 stalks celery, sliced thin
- 2 small carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup water or beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups white rice or noodles (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside, leaving some of the rendered fat in the pan.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced green bell pepper, sliced celery, julienned carrots, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water or beef broth, and cornstarch until smooth.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. Stir everything together to evenly coat with the sauce.
Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are fully cooked but still retain some crunch.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Serve hot over steamed white rice or cooked noodles as desired. Enjoy your homemade Hamburger Chop Suey!
