Instructions
1

Begin by gathering all your ingredients and chopping the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat and push the beef to one side of the skillet. In the empty side, add 1 cup of chopped bell peppers, 1 cup of sliced zucchini, and 1 cup of snap peas.

4

Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the ginger-sesame glaze by whisking together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger in a small bowl.

5

Pour the glaze over the beef and vegetables, stirring to combine everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

6

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

7

Serve the stir-fry over cooked brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
