This recipe was frequently made by my ex-husband, who was raised in the Pacific Northwest. I’m going off of memory, but I adore how straightforward and simple to clean up this recipe is.

- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
- 1 cup green bell pepper, cut into thin matchsticks
- 1 cup red bell pepper, cut into thin matchsticks
- 2 cups matchstick-cut carrots
- 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
- 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef in the hot oil until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, carrots, broccoli, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the pot.

Reviews
The vinegar taste was pretty strong but everything else was bland. If you follow the original recipe, the beef will be overcooked and the veggies still crunchy. You might want to cook/soften the veggies a bit before adding them in. I added cheese and some more seasonings and that helped a little. I gave it two stars because its fairly healthy and easy to prepare.
Nice Flavor- Different than anything we are use to. For the vegetables, I used onion, jalapeño, bell pepper, broccoli and carrot sticks. Like a lot of the other reviews, I also served it over a plate of rice and added a little Tabasco. Very good if you are wanting something a little different than your average meat and vegetables meal.
Delicious I will definitely make this again
Good flavor and I will make again. I believe using flank steak would compliment the vegetables a little better than ground beef. Just my two cents though… Other than that, the recipe had a great favor and versatile or pasta or rice if preferred.
Good recipe. I basically followed as stated. Made a nice large pan full for dinner with plenty for the next day. I love recipes with lots of veggies and this fits that profile!
What a nice surprise. Full of flavour and not hard to make. Had everything I needed but did have to substitute with another hot pepper from a jar but didn’t seem to make a difference. Will make it again and again.
Should have known when I saw 2 Tbsp of sugar in such a small amount of liquid. Wanted to love it because of all the vegetables. It was a huge disappointment.
Served on a bed of rice
The dish was way too vingery and sugary for my taste. I ended up adding brown gravy mix and beef stock after following the recipe. It was ok but not a hit.
This was delicious and a great way to use up whatever veggies you have. We had cauliflower and fresh green beans instead of bell peppers and broccoli. We will definitely be making this again.
Really good flavor. I like the fresh veggie approach. Next time will try a different protein. But excellent dish.
This recipe says adobo but there is no adobo in the recipe. I could add it to It I suppose looks good
I made this and only changed was that I used zucchini instead of the broccoli. It turned out great! Best thing was my Dad liked it!!
It was like vegetable soup without the soupy part. A little sweet, but we ate it all! I would make it again!
This recipe was very flavorful. I didn’t have red peppers so left those out. First I cooked the ground beef in oil, when browned I removed from pan then cooked all the veggies in the pan, returned the meat then added all the seasonings. Turned out great. Next time going to try on a bed of rice!
Made this last night minus the green beans but otherwise as written. Will make again but will cut down slightly on the vinegar other than that it was a quick and simple meal.
Delicious
Interesting flavor. I didn’t add the sugar because we’re watching our sugar intake. Also left out the green beans. Hubby liked it and kids even ate it.
it turn out very yummy
Quick, tasty and creative. 🙂 The recipe is clear and easy to follow. Thank you!! I did leave out the jalapeno, and traded pepperoncini for the bell peppers, since that’s what I had on hand. I’ll actually go shopping for all the ingredients next time.
Nice change of pace from heavy cream based ground beef recipes. I made extra sauce which I would recommend. I added more veggies than called for as I liked the ratio.
