Ingredients: 12 oz extra-lean ground beef; ½ red bell pepper; 3 green onions; 1 cup green beans; 2 cups bok choy; 2 ½ tbsp tamari

This simple beef stir-fry packs in plenty of protein and can be adjusted to suit your taste with different vegetables and additional spices, if desired. Add the Japanese spice mix togarashi for extra flavor, or stir in garlic and ginger while the beef is cooking. For even more protein, top with a fried egg.

12 oz extra-lean ground beef

½ red bell pepper(diced)

3 green onions(chopped)

1 cup green beans(chopped)

2 cups bok choy(chopped)

2 ½ tbsp tamari

Heat a large, non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the beef to the pan, breaking it up as it browns. Once it is cooked through and no longer pink, drain excess drippings from the pan if necessary.

Add the peppers, green onion, and green beans to the pan with the beef and continue to cook for five to six minutes stirring often until the peppers and beans are just tender.

Add the bok choy and tamari to the pan and cook for two to three minutes more until the bok choy is wilted and tender. Season with additional tamari if needed, then divide between plates. Enjoy!
