Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • ½ large red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large zucchini, diced
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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.
