Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add diced red bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli florets, and sliced carrot to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the beef.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
