Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare all vegetables by washing and chopping them. Mince the garlic.
  2. Measure out all sauces and seasonings.
Cooking Beef
  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add sesame oil and minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces.
  3. Stir in soy sauce, chili flakes, and brown sugar. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Cooking Vegetables
  1. In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Add broccoli, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Toss well with additional soy sauce.
Serving
  1. To serve, place hot steamed rice into bowls. Arrange beef and vegetables neatly on top or side by side. Spoon any extra sauce over the bowl for added flavor.

Notes

Serve with a garnish of sesame seeds or green onions for that extra pop. Store leftovers separately in the fridge for 3-4 days.
