Ingredients
  

For the Beef Mixture
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20) Perfect for a juicy texture while keeping it lean for a healthier meal.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Adds robust flavor; feel free to use garlic powder in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated Provides a warm, spicy kick; can be substituted with ground ginger if needed.
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce Essential for that savory depth; opt for tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar Balances the soy sauce’s saltiness; try coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
For the Vegetables
  • 3 pieces green onions, sliced Freshness enhancer; both the white and green parts add delicious flavors.
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped Adds sweetness and crunch; feel free to mix colors for a vibrant dish.
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned Sweet and crunchy, they pair perfectly with the beef; shredded carrots work too.
For the Cooking
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil Brings an irresistible nutty flavor; can be substituted with olive oil if necessary.

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by chopping the bell peppers and julienning the carrots into bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onions, separating the white parts from the green tops for garnish later.
  2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Stir frequently and allow it to brown for about 5 minutes.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the browned beef, stirring well. Sauté for about 1 minute until they release a fragrance.
  4. Add Sauces and Simmer: Pour in soy sauce and sprinkle brown sugar over the beef mixture. Stir well and allow to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the chopped bell peppers and julienned carrots, cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove from heat and transfer to bowls. Top with sliced green onions.
