Ingredients
  

Beef
  • 1/2 pound (227 g) ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Vegetables
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1/2 zucchini, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Assembly
  • 1 cup steamed white rice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and chop the broccoli, red bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms. Mince the garlic, then measure the soy sauce and remaining seasonings.
Beef
  1. Warm the sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces during cooking.
  3. Mix in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the chili flakes, and brown sugar. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly, then take the skillet off the heat.
Vegetables
  1. Heat the olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the broccoli, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, keeping the vegetables tender-crisp, then mix in the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
Serving
  1. Divide the hot steamed white rice among 4 bowls. Top with or arrange alongside the cooked beef and vegetables, then spoon any remaining beef sauce over the bowls.

Notes

Keep the vegetables tender-crisp rather than overcooking them.
