Instructions
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce: Add all of the ingredients to a sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. While you bring the sauce to a simmer make the cornstarch slurry by whisking together the warm water and cornstarch in a small bowl.
- Once the sauce is simmering, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes as it continues to thicken. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season one side of the ground beef liberally with salt and pepper.
- Cook the beef: Once the skillet is hot, add the oil and then flip the seasoned side of the ground beef into the skillet. Sear the beef for 5-6 minutes on one side and then flip and break the meat up. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to the beef as it continues to cook.
- Sauté the veggies: Keeping the skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit more oil to the pan if needed and then add the carrot, bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the veggies have begun to soften but are still crisp. .
- Add the beef back to the pan and stir to combine with the veggies.
- Next, add 1 cup of the prepared teriyaki sauce and then add the broccoli and snow peas. Stir to combine and sauté for 2-3 more minutes until the broccoli and snow peas become bright green and are tender yet crisp.
- Turn off the heat and finish with green onion. Serve over rice and garnished with sesame seeds.
