Instructions
- Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, then brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In the same pan, add remaining oil and sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Push everything to the side and scramble the eggs in the center of the pan until just set.
- Add the frozen peas and carrots, stirring everything together and cooking for 2 minutes.
