Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by heating my skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. I let it cook until it’s well-browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. This is where the kitchen starts to smell amazing! Once it’s cooked through, I drain any excess fat for a lighter dish. After that, I toss in the minced garlic and ginger, letting them sauté for about a minute, until fragrant. This step adds a lovely depth of flavor to the stir fry.
