Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef lean, 80/20 recommended
  • 1 cup bell peppers sliced, mixed colors
  • 1 cup broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup carrots sliced or julienned
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil for flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa for a different base
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • 2 green onions sliced for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Drain any excess fat from the skillet and add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and carrots to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using), stirring to combine all ingredients well.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and coat the beef and veggies.
  • To serve, spoon the beef and veggie mixture over a bed of cooked brown rice in bowls and garnish with sliced green onions.
