What You'll Need
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks

What to Do

This is a great dish. I used to make something fairly similar, only I added in some broccoli along with the pepper and snow peas. It's a nice fast meal to put together on a chilly evening and it's one of the comfort foods I enjoy turning to. The colors of the dish are really pleasing, and it's good to look at, as well as to consume.

It tastes better with the bell pepper sliced in 1"x1/4" pieces and beef Eye of Round sliced THIN. Would work well with any type of thinly sliced meat instead of ground. The different oils that can be used for HIGH temp cooking ( peanut, vegie, sunflower ect.) each impart a different flavor. I suggest you try a different oil each time you fix the recipe. The sesame oil ( light or dark(toasted) is a finishing oil that should be tried, but can be left out.

This is fantastic! The sesame oil is a must! You cannot get the same unique Asian flavor with any other oil. And the snow peas add a nice crunch (so would sliced water chestnuts if you like them.) I also added a few shelled edamame beans. I used minced ginger from Penzeys.

I would give this 4 stars because it is very similar to mine. I add diced, sauteed green onions, yellow onion and scrambled egg. Now that is 5 Stars!

For all those who don't like sesame oil you can use any other oil. This recipe is a westernized version. True Oriental stir-fry uses high temperatures (400), but this recipe states MEDIUM heat (325 to 374).

After further thought, I want to mention flavored stir-fry oil. It is generally flavored with garlic, ginger, lemon grass and other herbs. The brands Tsang and Kame are readily found in my grocery, but look for this with other Asian sauces and canned goods. Flavor can vary between brands. If you replace the sesame oil with a flavored oil you won't need to add the ground ginger.

Thank you Juner - I love your comments. I wonder if they ask for the carb and sugar figures etc. etc. when they go to the restaurants. I hate to read their comments, so as soon as I realize what they are asking for, I ignore it. Just say yes or no not how healthy is it. LOL

When I make any kind (meat) of fried rice I always use peanut oil. I agree with some of the comments about sesame oil. I don't care for it either.

Thought it was great. Left out the peas and bell pepper and used peas and carrots instead. Just a fatter version of chicken fried rice )

This would be great with ground chicken or ground turkey, too. Wouldn't need to cook the chicken or turkey as long as the beef either.

I really want to make this, but I cannot stand sesame oil, even just a small amount! Can someone please come up with an alternative? TIA...mark
