Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 300g 5% fat beef mince
Vegetables:
- 1 onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 250g cooked rice
- 1 spring onion
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 20ml dark soy sauce
- 15ml sriracha
- 10g tomato puree
- 20g honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F. Sauté 300g beef mince, breaking it into small crumbles until browned and no pink remains, about 5-6 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat from your skillet. Add 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped bell pepper, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften and become translucent.
- Whisk together 20ml dark soy sauce, 15ml sriracha, 10g tomato puree, and 20g honey in a small bowl. Pour the sauce directly over your beef and vegetable mixture.
- Stir the sauce thoroughly to coat every morsel of meat and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Add 250g cooked rice to the skillet. Toss everything carefully to ensure the rice gets completely covered with the sauce and ingredients.
- Transfer the beef and rice mixture to serving plates. Garnish generously with sliced spring onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately while the dish is hot and the flavors are at their peak.
Notes
- Always use high heat when browning beef to develop a deep, caramelized flavor that adds richness to the dish.
- Drain excess fat after cooking beef to keep the final meal lighter and prevent greasiness.
- Chop vegetables into uniform sizes so they cook evenly and provide consistent texture throughout the rice.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular soy sauce with tamari and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
