Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by washing, chopping, and mincing all the vegetables and garlic. Measuring your sauces ahead of time saves precious minutes when cooking!
Cooking Beef
  1. Cook Beef: Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground beef, cooking until browned and no longer pink, around 5-7 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, chili flakes, and brown sugar, simmering for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Sautéing Veggies
  1. Sauté Veggies: In another pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for a minute, then add sliced mushrooms, cooking for 2 minutes. Toss in broccoli, zucchini, and red bell pepper, stir-frying until they're tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes, and splash with a bit of soy sauce for flavor.
Assembling Bowl
  1. Assemble Bowl: Spoon hot steamed rice into bowls. Top with the stir-fried beef and veggie mixture, creating a delightful layering of flavors. Drizzle with extra sauce if desired for that umami kick!

Notes

Optional: Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped scallions for extra flavor and crunch. Exact quantities are listed in the recipe card below.
