Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (preferably lean)

2 cups mixed vegetables (such as carrots, peas, and bell peppers, all chopped)

1 medium onion (diced)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup beef broth

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (a blend of oregano, basil, and thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup cooked rice or quinoa (optional for serving)

Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat until it shimmers. Then, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté these ingredients for about 3-4 minutes until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.

    Brown the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes. If there is excess fat, drain it from the skillet.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes. This will allow the vegetables to soften slightly and meld with the browned beef.

        Flavor It Up: Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the dried Italian herbs over the mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and coated with the sauce.

          Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and allow it to cook uncovered for 10 minutes. This will help the sauce thicken. Be sure to taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking.

            Serve: If desired, spoon the hearty beef and vegetable mixture over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
