1 tablespoon rice vinegar *or lime juice
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
pinch of salt

Ground Beef Teriyaki

1 batch Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
1 tablespoon high heat oil *such as avocado oil
1 pound 80/20 ground beef *I used 1 1/3 lbs Costco organic ground beef and it worked perfectly.
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 large zucchini *cut into half moon shapes
2 cups broccoli florets See Note #2 below
1 batch Short Grain Brown Rice *or your favorite base, See Note #3 below

Instructions

Sriracha Mayo

In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the Sriracha Mayo. Taste test and adjust with additional salt or a teaspoon of honey or sugar if desired. Refrigerate until needed.

Ground Beef Teriyaki

Combine all the ingredients for Homemade Teriyaki Sauce except the cornstarch slurry in a small saucepan.
Whisk together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth and add to the saucepan. Once the ground beef is cooking, bring teriyaki sauce to a boil over high heat stirring occasionally. Once boiling, lower heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until desired thickness.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat.
Add ground beef. Cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to help develop a rich brown crust, then break up the beef and continue cooking until nicely browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
Transfer the cooked beef to a clean bowl. (Leave any tasty browned bits and a thin film of fat in the pan.)
In the same pan (do not wipe out!), add the mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden and starting to caramelize.
Add zucchini and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add broccoli and continue stir frying until broccoli turns a vibrant color, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the browned beef to the pan with the vegetables.
Pour over the teriyaki sauce. Toss everything together. Garnish with sliced green onions and drizzle with the Sriracha Mayo Sauce.

Notes

Note #1- Use your favorite mayo or give Kewpie mayo a try. It is extra creamy and has a rich, umami flavor.

Note #2- Mix and match your favorite vegetables, aiming for about 4-5 cups total. For variations, try carrots, bell peppers, snap peas, baby bok chop, baby corn, green beans, spinach or kale (stir in at the end), onions, or water chestnuts. Use what you love or have on hand.

Note #3- Serve over your favorite base such as white or brown rice, jasmine or basmati (great flavor and quick cooking), cauliflower rice (as a low carb option), quinoa (for added protein and fiber), soba, udon, ramen, spaghetti, rice noodles, or glass noodles for a fun twist.
