Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean minced beef or turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, grated ginger
- 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
- 150 grams, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces green beans
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 chopped spring onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the grated ginger, stirring for another minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the minced meat to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Once the meat is browned, add the sliced red bell pepper and green beans. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water until well combined.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the meat and vegetables.
Season with black pepper and adjust flavors as needed, keeping a lookout for saltiness as the soy sauce is low sodium.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
