Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 or similar)
• 1 large zucchini
• 1 medium bell pepper (red, green, or yellow)
• 8 oz mushrooms
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, minced
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dice the zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with half of the soy sauce (1 tablespoon), ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Remove the cooked ground beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and combine it with the vegetables.

Step 8

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your keto-friendly stir-fried vegetables with ground meat.
