Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey (for balancing flavors)
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Cooked rice or cauliflower rice for serving
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and chop vegetables like onions, bell peppers, and green onions. Mince garlic and grate ginger for maximum flavor infusion.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, toss in broccoli and red bell peppers, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar or honey, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well so all ingredients are coated with the savory sauce. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. For extra flavor, add a dash of zesty citrus or enjoy with a side of crispy potatoes.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for a leaner variation. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to keep the dish entirely gluten-free. Always check labels on your soy sauce to ensure they are gluten-free.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated easily.
