Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.
Step 2: Add 8 oz sliced button mushrooms, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 4 minutes until mushrooms soften and garlic is fragrant.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the beef mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and mushrooms.
Step 4: Stir in 2 thinly sliced green onions just before serving for a fresh bite.
