🥢 Clean & Flavorful Ground Beef Stir-Fry

If you’re looking for a quick, tasty, and light dinner, this recipe is your go-to!

We use one simple step for a fresher flavor: rinse and drain the ground beef before cooking to reduce fat and let the seasonings shine.

📋 Ingredients:

✅️ 1 lb (450g) ground beef (rinsed and well-drained)  Protein-packed with great texture.

✅️ 1 small onion, finely diced  Adds natural sweetness and depth.

✅️ 3 garlic cloves, minced Brings a savory, aromatic kick.

✅️ 1 inch fresh ginger, grated  Warm, peppery freshness.

✅️ 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced  Adds color and crunch.

✅️ 2 tbsp soy sauce  Rich umami base.

✅️ 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or hoisin for a sweeter note)  Deepens flavor.

✅️ 1 tsp sesame oil  Nutty aroma.

✅️ 1 tbsp neutral oil  For sautéing.

✅️ ¼ tsp black pepper (or chili flakes for heat)  Adds subtle spice.

✅️ 2 green onions, sliced  For garnish.

👩‍🍳 Directions:

◾️ Step 1 ➡️ Prep the Beef: Place beef in a fine-mesh strainer, rinse under cold water for 15–20 seconds, drain well, and press gently to remove extra moisture.

◾️ Step 2 ➡️ Sauté Aromatics: Heat neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

◾️ Step 3 ➡️ Cook the Beef: Add drained beef, break it apart, and stir-fry for 5–6 minutes until browned and liquid evaporates.

◾️ Step 5 ➡️ Serve: Turn off heat, adjust seasoning, and garnish with green onions.
