Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 cup broccoli
- 1 medium carrot
- 3 stalks green onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium carrot
- 5 sliced water chestnuts
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 100 ml beef broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash and prepare all the vegetables: dice the red bell pepper, slice the broccoli into small florets, julienne the carrot, and thinly slice the green onions. Mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with black pepper and salt.
Step 5
Transfer the cooked beef to a plate and place the skillet back on the heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 6
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 7
Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with the sliced water chestnuts. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Step 8
Lower the heat to medium, add the broth mixture to the skillet, and stir well to coat everything. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Step 9
Turn off the heat, mix in the sliced green onions, and serve immediately with rice or noodles.
