Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 300 grams fresh green beans
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 unit onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans, cutting them into approximately 2-inch pieces.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic and ginger.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until they start to become tender but still crisp.
Remove the green beans from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the ground beef to the skillet.
Cook the ground beef for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until it is browned and cooked through.
Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the soy sauce, water, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to the beef.
Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes to develop the flavors.
Return the green beans to the skillet, tossing them with the beef mixture to coat.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the green beans are heated through and tender-crisp.
Remove from heat and serve the ground beef and green bean stir-fry hot, garnished with additional chili flakes if desired.
