Begin by washing and chopping all your vegetables: broccoli, red bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms. Mince 4 cloves of garlic and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, incorporate 1 pound of ground beef and cook for around 5-7 minutes until nicely browned. Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar; simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

While the beef is simmering, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a second pan over medium heat. Once hot, add another minced clove of garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, then toss in the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and tender, followed by the rest of the chopped vegetables. Stir everything together, seasoning with a splash of soy sauce.

Scoop a serving of freshly steamed rice into your serving bowls, add the beef mixture, and top with sautéed vegetables. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the whole bowl.
