Print Recipe

A quick and flavorful ground beef stir fry featuring crisp green beans and tender julienned carrots, tossed in a savory garlic-soy glaze. Served with jasmine rice, it’s a balanced, weeknight-friendly dish packed with umami.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • Steamed jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in green beans and carrots, cooking for 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and black pepper.
  6. Pour sauce mixture into the skillet and stir well to coat everything evenly.
  7. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1–2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  8. Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
