Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef, chicken, turkey, or pork
• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 250 grams broccoli florets
• 150 grams green beans
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare all your vegetables: dice the zucchini, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, cut the broccoli into bite-size florets, and trim the green beans.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger to have them ready to use.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the cooked ground meat. Stir and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Push the meat to one side of the skillet. Add the sesame oil to the empty space, followed by the broccoli, green beans, bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Mix the vegetables and ground meat together in the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos if using) and stir to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes, if desired. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the stir-fry for garnish before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your Low Carb Stir-Fried Vegetables with Ground Meat on its own or alongside cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
