Teriyaki Ground Beef
Teriyaki Ground Beef is a savory dish where lean ground beef is cooked with scallions, bell pepper, and carrots, then coated in a homemade teriyaki sauce that includes brown sugar, ginger, garlic, mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, and broth. The sauce thickens slightly, creating a flavorful glaze that clings to the tender-crisp vegetables and beef. This dish can be served over rice or noodles and garnished with sesame seeds and extra scallions.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1/3 cup scallions chopped
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 cup carrot matchstick cut
Sauce:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated, fresh
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons mirin see note
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup beef broth or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Add the beef to a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown it for 8 minutes, breaking it up with your spoon as it cooks. If there's a lot of fat released, spoon most of it out.
- Meanwhile, add the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk together. Prep the veggies.
- To the skillet, add in the scallions, bell pepper, and carrots. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Pour in the sauce and cook for another 3 minutes or so (the sauce will thicken up a bit and the veggies will become tender-crisp).
- If needed, season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve over rice or noodles. I topped the bowls with sesame seeds and extra scallions, but that's totally optional.

Notes
- Grocery store brands of mirin, like Kikkoman, work well and are found near soy sauce in Asian food aisles.
- Frozen fresh ginger graters easily and maintains flavor for this recipe.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed after cooking to taste.
