Ingredients
1poundGround Beef96/4
1Yellow Onion
1Red Bell Pepper
1tablespoonOlive Oil
For the Sauce
1/4cupHoisin
2tablespoonsSugar Free Ketchup
2tablespoonsSweet Chili Sauce
1tablespoonOyster Sauce
1tablespoonLow Sodium Soy Sauce
1tablespoonApple Cider Vinegar
1teaspoonRed Pepper Flakes
1teaspoonGarlic Powder
1/2cupBeef Bone Broth
Instructions
Cut the bell pepper and onion into equally sized 3/4" squares. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the veggies. Cook until the peppers have slightly softened and the onion begins to caramelize around the edges, about 3-5 minutes.
Transfer the veggies to a bowl and add the ground beef to the skillet. Press it flat and brown both sides before breaking apart with a spatula and fully cooking.
While the beef cooks, mix the sauce ingredients together. Once the beef is fully cooked, add the sauce and cook until you have a thick sauce that leaves a clear trail when you drag a spatula across the bottom of the skillet. This should take about 4-6 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened, add the veggies back to the skillet and stir everything together. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.
