Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (or chicken/turkey for a leaner option)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 items Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 items Bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 3 items Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Drain excess fat if necessary, and then transfer the beef to a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes or until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring well to combine. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the stir-fry before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your low-carb savory ground meat stir-fry!
