How to Make Ground Beef and Green Bean Skillet

Chop the onion and mince the garlic to create a flavorful base.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain the excess fat, then add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add trimmed green beans and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and honey or sugar, then pour into the skillet.
For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water, stir into the skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot.
