- In a large skillet, cook ground meat, be sure to mince it well. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes. Add minced ginger to the meat, chopped broccoli and peppers. Once the peppers start to sweat a little (about 4 minutes) add in ¾ ths of the teriyaki sauce to the ground meat, the rest will be used as needed to "dress" the bowls. Let it simmer and marinate into the meat on a low simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat, set aside.
