Step-by-Step Instructions

‍

Step 1: Brown the Mt. Folly Beef

‍

Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb of Mt. Folly ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks until it is almost completely browned.

‍

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics & Vegetables

‍

Add the pressed garlic, sliced white onion, and sliced red bell peppers into the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the onions are slightly translucent and the peppers are tender-crisp.

‍

Step 3: Sauce & Coat

‍

Whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, Sriracha, brown sugar, and salt in a small dish. Pour the sauce into the pan and stir well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Remove the skillet from heat.

‍

Step 4: Wilt the Basil & Serve

‍

Toss the fresh whole basil leaves into the warm skillet off the heat, stirring gently until wilted and fragrant. Serve over warm white rice and enjoy!
