Ingredients

• 500 grams lean minced beef (or turkey for a leaner option)
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your ingredients. Finely chop the onion and garlic, and dice the carrot, red bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and black pepper. Mix well to create a sauce and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced meat to the skillet. Break it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove the cooked meat from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked minced meat to the skillet and mix with the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the prepared sauce over the meat and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 9

If you like some heat, sprinkle red chili flakes over the stir-fry and mix well.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and serve the stir-fried minced meat and vegetables hot. Pair with steamed rice, quinoa, or enjoy it as-is for a low-carb option.
