Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef or turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 100 milliliters chicken or beef broth
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, for about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and set the meat aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and broth until smooth.
Return the cooked ground meat to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over and stir everything together.
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is well coated.
Season with black pepper to taste.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
