Ground Beef Stir Fry
This is a quick, one-pan, 20-minute ground beef stir fry that is loaded with fresh veggies and has the best sauce (which is super easy by the way!). Serve over rice or in lettuce cups for low carb option and you’ll essentially have a copycat of lettuce wraps you’d get from takeout!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Mix the Sauce - In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine all of the sauce ingredients and set aside
2
Brown the Beef - Set a large skillet or Wok over medium/high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Add beef and sauté, breaking it up with a spatula for about ⏱️ 5 minutes or until fully cooked through and lightly browned to build flavor. Transfer the beef to a separate bowl, keeping any oil in the pan.
3
Sauté the Veggies - In the same skillet, add a little bit of oil if you don’t have enough reserved from the ground beef and add all of your veggies, sautéing and stirring frequently, for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes or until zucchini is half done and crunchy. Don’t overcook them because they’ll still be cooking a little more with the sauce and you don’t want them to get mushy.

Add the Ground Beef and Sauce - Add the cooked ground beef back to the pan then add the sauce and store to combine. Cook stirring occasionally for about two minutes or until fragrant. This gives the garlic and ginger a chance to cook lightly. Zucchini should be crisp-tender.
