Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar light or dark
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider or rice vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons peeled and minced fresh ginger see note
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 bell pepper any color, chopped into small pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets chopped into small pieces
- 3/4 cup shredded carrots
- sesame seeds and green onions to garnish
Instructions
- Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and garlic. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until mostly browned, breaking it up into small pieces as you go. Drain or use a paper towel to soak up excess fat.
- While the beef browns, combine soy sauce, water, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, and toasted sesame oil in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. Set aside.
- Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, then pour in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes more, just until the sauce thickens slightly and the vegetables become slightly tender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, as desired.
