Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 celery stalk
- 1 mushroom
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp soya sauce
- 1 cup macaroni
Instructions
-
Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the onion, garlic, celery, mushroom, and bell pepper finely to ensure they cook evenly.
-
Brown the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until it’s nicely browned and no longer pink. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add Aromatics: Once the beef is browned, add in the chopped onion, garlic, and celery. Stir well to combine with the beef. Allow the vegetables to cook down until they are softened and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
-
Incorporate Vegetables: Next, toss in the chopped mushroom and bell pepper into the skillet. These colorful veggies not only add flavor but also enhance the dish’s visual appeal. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Introduce Liquid: Pour in the beef broth and soya sauce into the skillet. These savory liquids will infuse the dish with depth of flavor. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
-
Add Macaroni: Sprinkle the macaroni evenly over the mixture in the skillet. The macaroni will absorb the delicious flavors of the dish as it cooks. Cover the skillet and let everything simmer gently until the macaroni is tender. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the macaroni is cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the skillet from the heat. Give everything a final stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined. Serve your Ground Beef Chinese Style hot, garnished with fresh herbs like chopped green onions or cilantro, if desired.
