Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (preferably lean)

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas

2 green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cooking oil (canola or vegetable oil)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes for extra heat

Optional: Cooked brown rice or quinoa for serving

Instructions
 

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by washing and chopping all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger, and set these aromatics aside for later use.

    Marinate the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with low sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Mix thoroughly until the beef is well coated. Allow it to marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

      Heat the Pan: Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cooking oil followed by the sesame oil, swirling them together to coat the pan evenly.

        Cook the Beef: Carefully add the marinated ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break the beef apart, cooking until it’s browned and fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Ensure it is no longer pink inside.

          Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet. Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes, letting the mixture cook until fragrant, but be careful not to burn the garlic.

            Add Vegetables: Incorporate the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas into the beef mixture. Stir-fry these additions for another 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp yet vibrant in color.

              Season and Serve: Stir in the chopped green onions, and season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for those who enjoy a kick. Allow everything to cook together for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

                Plate and Enjoy: Serve the stir fry hot over a generous portion of cooked brown rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal. For an added touch, garnish with a sprinkle of extra green onions on top.
