Ingredients
4 servings
- •1 pound lean ground beef
- •3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- •½ large red bell pepper, diced
- •¼ teaspoon salt
- •¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- •1 large zucchini, diced
- •½ cup soy sauce
- •⅓ cup water
- •2 tablespoons water
- •2 tablespoons white sugar
- •2 tablespoons brown sugar
- •2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- •1 tablespoon cornstarch
- •1 teaspoon onion powder
- •½ teaspoon ground ginger
- •½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Combine ground beef, carrots, and bell pepper in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat; saute for 4 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add zucchini and continue to cook until ground beef is fully cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender (to your preferred "doneness"), about 5 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, sugar, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, onion powder, ginger, and garlic powder in a small bowl for the sauce. Whisk until well blended.
- When the meat and veggies are cooked, whisk sauce once more and pour into the skillet. Use a spatula to mix and get everything off the sides and bottom.
- Turn the heat up until sauce begins to bubble, stirring occasionally until mixture becomes thickened and glossy. Turn heat off. Taste and adjust seasonings.
