Ingredients
•
1 pound lean ground beef
•
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
•
1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1 large zucchini, diced
•
1/2 cup soy sauce
•
1/3 cup water
•
2 tablespoons water
•
2 tablespoons white sugar
•
2 tablespoons brown sugar
•
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
•
1 tablespoon cornstarch
•
1 teaspoon onion powder
•
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
•
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
1
Combine ground beef, carrots, and bell pepper in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat; saute for 4 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add zucchini and continue to cook until ground beef is fully cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender (to your preferred "doneness"), about 5 more minutes.
2
Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, sugar, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, onion powder, ginger, and garlic powder in a small bowl for the sauce. Whisk until well blended.
3
When the meat and veggies are cooked, whisk sauce once more and pour into the skillet. Use a spatula to mix and get everything off the sides and bottom.
4
Turn the heat up until sauce begins to bubble, stirring occasionally until mixture becomes thickened and glossy. Turn heat off. Taste and adjust seasonings.
