Ingredients
- avocado oil
- 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef (93/10)
- salt and pepper
- 8 oz sliced baby Bella mushrooms
- 1 small white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
- 8 oz sugar snap peas
- garlic rice, for serving
- thinly sliced green onion, for garnish
- sesame seeds, for garnish
- chili crisp, for serving
Stir Fry Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced, grated, or crushed
- 2 teaspoons ginger, grated or crushed
- 1-2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Make the stir fry sauce: Add all of the stir fry sauce ingredients to a small mixing bowl or mason jar. Whisk or shake the ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
- Prep your veggies: Make sure that all of your veggies are sliced and ready to use. This stir fry comes together quickly so having your veggies ready to go is important.
- Cook the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a bit of avocado oil and then add the ground beef. Season with a bit of salt and pepper and brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Once the beef is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté veggies: Keeping the skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit more avocado oil and then add the mushrooms. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender. Next add the remaining vegetables to the pan and sauté for an additional 6-8 minutes or until the veggies have begun to soften but are still crisp.
- Finish the stir fry: Add the ground beef back to the pan and stir until combined with the veggies. Next, add the stir fry sauce. Lower the heat to low and toss everything together. The sauce should begin to thicken quickly as it cooks.
- Serve the stir fry over cooked white rice and garnished with sesame seeds, green onion, and chili crisp/oil if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Store: store the ground beef stir fry and veggies in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Reheat: you can quickly reheat the stir fry mixture in the microwave for thirty seconds to a minute until heated through. Or, warm it in a skillet over medium heat. I like to keep extra stir-fry sauce on hand to freshen it back up!
