Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 cups fresh green beans trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil, swirling to coat the pan.
  2. Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the trimmed green beans and soy sauce, tossing everything together. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the beans are tender yet crisp.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the stir-fry rest for a minute before serving.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your well-deserved meal!

Notes

This stir-fry is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove to help maintain the crispness of the green beans.
