Your Weekday Savior: Stir-Fried Ground Beef with Different Veggies, Ready for Lunch Tomorrow
Letting Ground Beef and Different Veggies Bring Out the Flavor

Get your troops together:
- A big 300g of ground beef
- A colorful mix of frozen vegetables that weighs about 500g
- A splash of soy sauce, to be exact, 1 tablespoon (15ml)
To make the marinade:
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) each of soy sauce, cooking wine, and cornstarch
- One more tablespoon (15ml) of olive oil, oyster sauce, and Sichuan pepper oil
Let's start cooking:
- First, let's give our ground beef a nice bath in a marinade. Put the beef and the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix them well. This is where the magic happens, everyone! Allow the flavors to mix for at least two hours.

- Now let's talk about our vegetables. Put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Then, add the mixed vegetables. Blanch them until they start to float like tiny life rafts. Let them drain well and then put them aside for their big moment.

- It's time to heat up our pan. Put it on medium heat and add some oil. When the oil starts to shine, it's time for our marinated ground beef to come in. Stir-fry it until it turns a nice brown color.

- Now, tell the blanched vegetables to come to the party. Add them all and stir-fry them with a tablespoon of soy sauce. This is the most important step for flavor, folks. It really ties everything together!

I love how this dish can be used in so many ways. It goes well with rice, noodles, or even just a plain steamed bun. The best part? It's my favorite thing to do on busy weekdays. I like to serve these the way they do in my favorite homestyle restaurants: no frills, just good, filling food. Have fun!
