Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 cup zucchini, diced

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced

  • 1 small carrot, diced

  • 2 cups cooked white rice

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional: sesame seeds, green onions for garnish

Instructions

Step-by-Step: Step 1: Prepare the Veggies

Wash and chop all the veggies: dice the zucchini, peppers, and carrots, and slice the mushrooms.

Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned (about 6–7 minutes). Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Add Aromatics

Add minced garlic and ginger to the beef, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Sauté the Veggies

Add olive oil and toss in the diced carrots and broccoli first, cooking for 3–4 minutes. Follow with bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms, cooking until they’re just tender but still bright.

Step 5: Combine and Flavor

Add the soy sauce and mix everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6: Serve Over Rice

Scoop warm white rice into bowls and top with the flavorful beef and veggie mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

Cooking Note:

  • Rice Matters: Use freshly steamed rice or leftover rice for convenience.

  • Don’t Overcrowd: Cook veggies in batches if needed to keep them crisp-tender.

  • Flavor Boost: Add a splash of rice vinegar or a dash of oyster sauce for extra depth.
