Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, sliced into strips green bell pepper
• 3 sliced celery stalks
• 1 large, julienned or sliced into thin strips carrot
• 1 8-ounce can, drained canned bamboo shoots
• 2 cups, rinsed and drained bean sprouts
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups (optional, for serving) cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat from the skillet and set the beef aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the green bell pepper, celery, carrot, and canned bamboo shoots. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir to coat everything evenly. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Add the bean sprouts and gently mix them in. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the bean sprouts are heated through.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Serve hot over cooked white rice, if desired. Enjoy your Clara's Ground Beef Chop Suey!
