Ingredients
- 500 grams lean minced beef or turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, grated ginger
- 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
- 150 grams, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces green beans
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 chopped spring onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the grated ginger, stirring for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Increase the heat to high and add the minced meat to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Step 5
Once the meat is browned, add the sliced red bell pepper and green beans. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the meat and vegetables.
Step 8
Season with black pepper and adjust flavors as needed, keeping a lookout for saltiness as the soy sauce is low sodium.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot over steamed rice or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
