A quick and flavor-packed stir-fry bowl featuring spicy ground beef, garlic-sautéed vegetables, and fluffy white rice. Perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 cups cooked white rice (jasmine or long-grain preferred)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (plus more for sautéing veggies)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1.5 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Cook the white rice according to package instructions and set aside, keeping it warm.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, sriracha, garlic, and ginger to create the stir-fry sauce.
  4. Pour the sauce over the cooked beef, reduce heat, and simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of sesame oil and sauté the bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli with garlic until tender but crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Assemble bowls by layering a scoop of rice, then the spicy beef, followed by the garlic sautéed vegetables.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and additional chili sauce or red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb variation.
  • Add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or snow peas for variety.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of hoisin or fish sauce to the stir-fry sauce.
