Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep your ingredients by washing and chopping the broccoli, zucchini, bell pepper, and any other veggies you prefer. Mince 4 cloves of garlic. Measure out your soy sauce, sesame oil, chili flakes, and brown sugar.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned. Stir in soy sauce, chili flakes, and brown sugar for 3–4 minutes.
  3. In a separate frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add broccoli, zucchini, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for another 4–5 minutes.
  4. To serve, take portions of cooked white rice and spoon into bowls. Top each with the ground beef mixture and sautéed veggies. Drizzle any leftover sauce over the top.
  5. Optionally, top each bowl with a fried egg and garnish with chopped scallions or fresh cilantro.
