Description

A quick and flavorful Teriyaki Ground Beef Stir Fry featuring lean ground beef, fresh zucchini, and a medley of mushrooms tossed in a savory-sweet teriyaki sauce. Perfect for a wholesome weeknight dinner served over fluffy rice or cauliflower rice.


Ingredients

Beef and Vegetables

  • 1 pound Extra Lean Ground Beef
  • 2 Zucchini, chopped
  • 6 oz Sliced Mushrooms (blend of shiitake, oyster, and baby bella)
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, divided

Sauce and Condiments

  • 2/3 cup (169g) Teriyaki Sauce (Kevin’s brand recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Light Mayo
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons (23g) Sriracha
  • 1 Tablespoon (21g) Honey
  • 1 Tablespoon (15g) Rice Vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Serving

  • 3 cups (340g) Cooked Cauliflower Rice
  • 2 cups (280g) Cooked Rice

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the extra lean ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until fully browned and no longer pink, then push the cooked beef to one side of the skillet.
  2. Sauté the Zucchini: Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side of the skillet. Add the chopped zucchini and cook for about 3 minutes until it begins to soften and pick up some color.
  3. Add Mushrooms and Sauce: Stir in the sliced mushrooms, mixing all the vegetables and beef together. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and stir well to coat evenly. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the stir fry.
  4. Serve: Spoon the teriyaki ground beef and vegetable mixture over cooked rice or cauliflower rice. Optionally, garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use extra lean ground beef to keep the dish lower in fat.
  • Feel free to swap in any mushroom varieties you prefer or have on hand.
  • For a spicier dish, adjust the amount of sriracha to taste.
  • This stir fry is great over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Garnishing with scallions and sesame seeds adds freshness and a nutty crunch.
