# Required Ingredients:

→ Protein

01 - 227 grams ground beef

→ Sauces and Oils

02 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
03 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce (for vegetables)

→ Sweeteners and Spice

06 - 1 teaspoon brown sugar
07 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

→ Vegetables

08 - 2 cloves garlic, minced (divided)
09 - 1 cup broccoli florets
10 - 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
11 - 1/2 zucchini, sliced
12 - 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced

→ Grains

13 - 250 milliliters steamed white rice

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Wash and chop vegetables, mince garlic, and measure all sauces, spices, and sugar to streamline cooking.
02 - Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add ground beef, breaking it into small pieces, and cook until browned. Stir in soy sauce, chili flakes, and brown sugar. Simmer for a few minutes until sauce slightly thickens.
03 - In a separate pan, warm olive oil and sauté remaining garlic briefly. Add mushrooms first and cook for 2 minutes. Add broccoli, zucchini, and red bell pepper, stir-frying until tender-crisp. Finish with soy sauce to unify flavors.
04 - Ensure white rice is steamed to a light, fluffy consistency, ready to absorb the stir-fry flavors.
05 - Place steamed rice in a serving bowl. Arrange spicy ground beef and garlic sautéed vegetables on top or alongside. Spoon any remaining sauce over the bowl to maximize flavor.
