Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean recommended)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or shredded
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger (or 1 tbsp fresh grated)
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (jasmine or basmati recommended)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • Optional: sesame seeds, fried egg, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
  2. Add ground beef and cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking it up until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
  3. Push beef to one side of the pan. Add diced onion and garlic to the other side. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Mix beef and aromatics together. Add bell pepper and carrot. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until veggies are crisp-tender.
  5. Add soy sauce, sriracha, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir to coat everything in the sauce and cook for 1–2 more minutes.
  6. Remove from heat. Serve over warm rice and top with green onions and any desired toppings.

Notes

  • Lower the spice: Use less sriracha and omit red pepper flakes.
  • Protein swap: Try ground turkey, chicken, or tofu.
  • Serve creatively: Use lettuce wraps, quinoa, or noodles instead of rice.
  • Meal prep: Store in separate containers with rice and reheat as needed.
