Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 3 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/8 tsp mild, 1/4 tsp medium, 1/2 tsp spicy and 1 tsp extra-spicy! Trim, then halve green beans. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice mushrooms. Thinly slice green onions. Peel then mince or grate garlic. Finely chop chili, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping chilis!)
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then green beans, peppers and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 5-6 min. Add half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from heat, then transfer veggies to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beef. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Add remaining garlic and and 1/4 tsp chili. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.) Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
Add soy sauce, 2 tbsp hoisin and 1/4 cup water (dbl both for 4 ppl) to the pan with beef. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1-2 min. Remove the pan from heat.
Divide veggies between plates. Top with beef and any sauce from the pan. Sprinkle green onions over top.
