brussels sprout stir fry with ground beef in bowl with rice

Brussels Sprout Stir Fry

Believe or not, creating this recipe was my first time experimenting with Brussels sprouts. For the longest time I avoided them because one time I had them steamed and wasn’t a fan.

But I decided to try them again because my husband loves them.

I had the full intention of doing the traditional roasted brussels sprouts. However, the night I created this recipe, I was craving stir fry instead and it’s now my husband’s favorite recipe.

The best part about this recipe is how customizable it is. You can easily switch up the veggies or adjust the seasoning to change how spicy the recipe is.

For this recipe I used one third of a red, orange, yellow bell pepper, but you could use just one color or any combination.

The prep and cook time for this beef stir fry recipe is low making it perfect for weeknights. I hope you enjoy it!

How to make Brussels Sprouts Stir Fry

Using the same skillet, add ground beef and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

When ground beef is mostly brown, add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, ginger, and ground black pepper. Stir until combined and finish browning meat.
