Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams lean minced beef (or chicken/turkey for lower fat)
- 1 medium, julienned carrot
- 1 medium, diced zucchini
- 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for depth of flavor)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 serving cooking spray or 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons (optional, to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Season the minced meat with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Add the minced meat to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Stir-fry until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked meat to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots, zucchini, broccoli, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
Return the cooked minced meat to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir well to combine.
Drizzle in the sesame oil, mix thoroughly, and stir-fry for another 2 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Serve hot with steamed rice, quinoa, or as a topping for a salad. Enjoy!
