Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef

- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 medium zucchini sliced
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil or olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional for spice
- 2 cups cooked rice or ready rice
Instructions
- Cook rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sesame oil. Sauté the onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the bell pepper and zucchini. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Return the ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and let everything cook together for 2-3 minutes.
- Divide the rice into bowls and top with the beef and vegetable mixture.
