Preparation

  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with cooking oil, then add ground beef and cook until browned, draining any excess grease.

  2. Add chopped bell pepper, snap peas, and broccoli florets to the pan, sautéing for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger (if using), adding red pepper flakes if desired.
  4. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, toss to coat, and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
