INGREDIENTS

Stir Fry Sauce

½ cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice (about 1 medium orange)
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 Tablespoon honey or brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca starch

Stir Fry

1 lb ground beef (I used 90% lean)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons sesame oil or olive oil
1 small yellow onion sliced
1 red bell pepper sliced
3 cups chopped broccoli florets
2 large carrots peeled and sliced
2 cups snap peas
Garnish: Green onions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes
To serve: White rice, brown rice, coconut rice, ramen noodles, lettuce cups, or cauliflower rice

INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
In a large pan or wok, heat 1 Tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and brown, breaking it up into small pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 minutes. Transfer the ground beef to a bowl and drain the fat.
Add the remaining Tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan over medium heat. Add all of the vegetables and stir to cook until almost tender, 5-6 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the vegetables and bring it to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Continue to cook until the sauce bubbles and thickens, 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef back to the pan and stir to coat the beef in the veggies and sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over white rice, coconut rice, brown rice, noodles or in a lettuce wrap.
