Ground Beef Stir Fry

Steps

1. Combine soy sauce, barbecue sauce, real maple syrup, sesame oil, fresh garlic cloves, and grated ginger in a bowl to make the sauce.
2. Set aside the prepared sauce and prep your vegetables: thinly slice mushrooms, cut zucchini into half circles, and julienne or matchstick-cut the carrot.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil.
4. Add the ground beef to the hot skillet. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks and sauté for about five minutes until fully cooked through and lightly browned.
5. Transfer the cooked ground beef to a separate dish, keeping any reserved oil in the skillet. If needed, add a little olive oil to the skillet.
6. Add all of your prepared vegetables (mushrooms, zucchini, carrot) to the skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Sauté for about two to three minutes, stirring frequently until the veggies are about halfway cooked through, ensuring they do not become mushy.
8. Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet along with all of your prepared sauce.
9. Stir everything together and continue cooking for another two minutes, or until everything is fragrant.
