Ingredients
-
1 pound lean ground beef
-
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
-
½ large red bell pepper, diced
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 large zucchini, diced
-
½ cup soy sauce
-
⅓ cup water
-
2 tablespoons water
-
2 tablespoons white sugar
-
2 tablespoons brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
½ teaspoon ground ginger
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
-
Combine ground beef, carrots, and bell pepper in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat; saute for 4 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add zucchini and continue to cook until ground beef is fully cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender (to your preferred "doneness"), about 5 more minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, sugar, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, onion powder, ginger, and garlic powder in a small bowl for the sauce. Whisk until well blended.
-
When the meat and veggies are cooked, whisk sauce once more and pour into the skillet. Use a spatula to mix and get everything off the sides and bottom.
-
Turn the heat up until sauce begins to bubble, stirring occasionally until mixture becomes thickened and glossy. Turn heat off. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Cook's Note:
I used red bell pepper, carrots, and zucchini, but you can certainly change up the veggies to use what you have on hand.
