Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (lean)
- 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat the oil. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Don’t let it smoke; just get it hot enough to sizzle when you add the beef.
- Cook the beef. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Season it with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until browned and cooked through. No pink bits, alright?
- Add garlic and ginger. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger. Stir it in and let it cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Don't burn it, or you'll ruin the whole dish!
- In with the veggies. Throw in the frozen mixed vegetables. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes. You want those veggies heated through but still crisp—don’t turn them to mush!
- Add the sauces. Pour in the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil. Give it a good stir to combine everything so that every bite is packed with flavor. Taste it and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve it up! Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or quinoa. Make it look nice on the plate; presentation matters!
There you have it! A healthy, gluten-free beef and veggie stir-fry that’s easy enough for anyone to whip up. It’s quick, delicious, and most importantly, it doesn't take a culinary degree to make it shine. Get in there and enjoy your meal!
