Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and julienne the carrot. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Chop the green onions and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and water. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to form a slurry. Set both aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the ground beef to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir to coat everything evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
