Ingredients
For the bowls
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 cup snow or sugar snap peas
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
For the sauce
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup chicken broth or water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the jasmine rice according to package instructions.
- Prepare the vegetables. Chop the bell pepper, cut the broccoli into small florets, and wash the peas if needed. Set aside.
- Next, add 2 tsp of olive or sesame oil to a large skillet and turn to medium heat. Add the ground beef to the pan. Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, break up the meat into smaller pieces. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the excess grease.
- Add the vegetables, garlic, and ginger to the cooked beef and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together, including the cornstarch, to create the teriyaki sauce mixture. Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan with the beef and veggies. Mix well and continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened and the veggies are tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Divide the rice into individual bowls. Add the teriyaki beef and vegetable mixture on top of the cooked rice. Top with extra sriracha if desired.
