👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Make Stir Fry Sauce: Make the Stir Fry Sauce: In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce until thoroughly combined. Then, set the sauce aside.
2. 2Stir Fry Ground Beef and Mushrooms: Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add in the onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes, or until the onions are starting to soften. Add the ground beef and season generously with salt and pepper. Then sauté the beef until it's almost browned, using the edge of a wooden kitchen spoon to break the ground beef into small chunks as you cook, about 4 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and continue to stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic, ginger and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until aromatic, about 1 minute.
3. 3Add Stir Fry Sauce: Pour the stir fry sauce from step 1 into the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until everything is coated with the sauce and the beef is cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste and adjust the dish for seasoning with salt and pepper.
4. 4Serve Chinese Ground Beef Recipe: Garnish and Serve Ground Beef and Mushroom Recipe: Add steamed rice or cooked noodles to empty serving bowls and top with stir fried beef and mushrooms. Alternatively, this beef is really good in lettuce wraps if you're looking for a low-carb option. Garnish with fresh herbs, toasted sesame seeds, lime wedges, and serve immediately. Enjoy immediately.
