Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 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

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Turn the heat up until sauce begins to bubble, stirring occasionally until mixture becomes thickened and glossy. Turn heat off. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Cook's Note:

I used red bell pepper, carrots, and zucchini, but you can certainly change up the veggies to use what you have on hand.
