Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground meat (beef, turkey, or pork)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (fresh, minced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 Yellow onion (small, diced)
- 2 Bell peppers (assorted colors, sliced)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 Carrot (julienned or sliced thinly)
- 1 Zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground meat to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the diced onion and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the bell peppers, broccoli, carrot, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked ground meat to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the coconut aminos and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil, if using.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
