Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 2
Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, for about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and set the meat aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and broth until smooth.
Step 7
Return the cooked ground meat to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over and stir everything together.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is well coated.
Step 9
Season with black pepper to taste.
Step 10
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
