Ingredients

• 300 grams lean ground beef
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot
• 150 grams green beans
• 1 small onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Seed and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Peel and thinly slice the carrot. Trim and cut the green beans into 1-inch lengths. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and water. Set aside this sauce mixture for later use.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and add the lean ground beef to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the pan.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion to the minced meat and cook for 2 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Push the cooked meat to the side of the pan and add the broccoli, carrot, green beans, and red bell pepper to the vacant side. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they start to become tender, yet still crisp. Mix everything in the pan well.

Step 8

Pour the sauce mixture over the stir-fry and toss everything to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is well heated.

Step 9

Finish by adding black pepper to taste. Serve hot, either alone or with a side of steamed rice or whole grain noodles.
