Instructions

Prepare all vegetables by washing and chopping them. Mince the garlic. Measure out all sauces and seasonings.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add sesame oil and minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces.
Stir in soy sauce, chili flakes, and brown sugar. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
Add broccoli, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Add soy sauce and toss well.
To serve, place hot steamed rice into bowls. Arrange beef and vegetables neatly on top or side by side. Spoon any extra sauce over the bowl for added flavor.

Notes

Prep first so pans move fast. Browning the beef well adds flavor. Simmering the sauce briefly concentrates taste but do not burn it. Cook veggies hot and quick so they keep some bite. For a make-ahead option, brown the beef and cool before storing in the fridge.
