  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Meat seasoning:
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp celery salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Sauce:
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • Stir fry:
  • 1 1/4 lbs ground beef
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil or olive oil
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine or beef broth
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup green beans
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 rib celery, diced
  • For serving:
  • 3 cups cooked rice or noodles

Instructions

  1. Mix cornstarch and cold water in a small container. In a separate bowl, combine all other sauce ingredients and set aside.
  2. Season ground beef with garlic salt, onion powder, celery salt, and pepper. Cook in a large skillet with oil over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it browns. Once cooked, drain excess grease and transfer beef to a plate.
  3. Deglaze skillet with white wine or broth, scraping up bits from the bottom. Let it reduce by half.
  4. Add broccoli, green beans, mushrooms, onion, and celery. Cook until they start to soften. Add carrots and bell pepper and cook a few more minutes.
  5. Pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a gentle boil. Let it reduce slightly.
  6. Shake the cornstarch slurry and stir it slowly into the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens.
  7. Return beef to the skillet, stir everything to combine, and heat through.
  8. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey for a leaner version.
  • Add cooked stir-fry noodles directly into the skillet instead of rice.
  • Stir in peanut butter for added richness and nutty flavor.
  • Use frozen vegetables if fresh are not available.
  • Make gluten-free with gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
