Ingredients

• 300 grams lean minced beef (or chicken/turkey for lower fat)
• 1 medium, julienned carrot
• 1 medium, diced zucchini
• 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
• 150 grams broccoli florets
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for depth of flavor)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 serving cooking spray or 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons (optional, to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Season the minced meat with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a teaspoon of vegetable oil.

Step 4

Add the minced meat to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Stir-fry until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked meat to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the carrots, zucchini, broccoli, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked minced meat to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Drizzle in the sesame oil, mix thoroughly, and stir-fry for another 2 minutes so the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice, quinoa, or as a topping for a salad. Enjoy!
