Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the beef mixture and stir to combine.

Step 5

Add shredded carrots and half of the sliced green onions to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
