Dice all vegetables to approximately the same size ensuring even cooking throughout. Having everything ready before heating your pan prevents anything from overcooking while you’re still chopping.
Sauté the Vegetables:
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to foam but not brown. Add all diced vegetables at once and cook for 4 to 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Look for softened texture and slightly translucent onions which indicate they’ve released their flavors.
Brown the Beef:
Add ground beef to the vegetable mixture breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Allow it to develop some browning before stirring too frequently which builds flavor compounds. Cook until no pink remains approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Season and Finish:
Pour soy sauce evenly across the mixture then sprinkle all seasonings. Stir thoroughly to incorporate ensuring every bite gets seasoned. Allow everything to simmer together for 2 to 3 minutes which helps the meat absorb the flavors.
