Green Bean and Ground Beef Stir Fry
Description
Green Bean and Ground Beef Stir Fry starts by marinating raw ground beef in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, chili garlic sauce, and cornstarch. This imparts deep flavor and tenderizes the meat. The green beans are cooked separately in canola oil, blistered for a slight char and softened while maintaining bite, then combined with ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes to build aroma and gentle heat.
After cooking the beef until browned, the beans return to the pan, mixing with the meat and allowing excess moisture to evaporate. The result is a dish with a balance of tender, flavorful meat and crisp-tender green beans, carrying a hint of sweetness and spice from the marinade and aromatics.
