GINGER GROUND BEEF AND VEGGIE STIR FRY
Made in one pan in less than 30 minutes, this beef and veggie stir fry recipe is there for you on the busiest nights when you’re craving a healthy, nourishing meal.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
Stir Fry:
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ small onion, diced
- 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 large carrots, cut into ½-inch rounds
- 1 bell pepper, cut into ½-inch strips
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons water
Sauce:
- ¼ cup coconut aminos (or tamari, or soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sriracha (I used Yellowbird)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh ginger, minced or grated
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon tapioca starch (or arrowroot powder)
For Garnishing and Serving:
- Green onions, sliced
- Sriracha
- Sesame seeds
- Cooked rice
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high and add your ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Note, if you’re using super lean ground beef like 90/10, you may need to add a bit of olive oil to the pan.
- Once the meat has browned, add the diced onion and saute for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- While the onion cooks, make the sauce. In a small glass or measuring cup, whisk together the sauce ingredients (coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sriracha, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and tapioca starch) making sure the tapioca starch is fully combined and there are no lumps.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the sauce, stirring to incorporate.
- Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes then remove the beef mixture from the pan. Don’t worry about the residue in the pan as this will help season the veggies.
- To the same pan, add the avocado oil and 2 tablespoons of water, scraping the bottom of the pan as the water bubbles and deglaze the pan.
- Add the veggies and raise the heat to medium-high. Toss the veggies and add another tablespoon of water.
- Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the broccoli is crisp-tender.
- Serve the beef and veggies with rice (optional) and garnish with a drizzle of sriracha, sliced green onion, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
