Ingredients
  

For the Beef Mixture
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Use low-sodium for a lighter version.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Possible substitutes include honey or maple syrup.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh is recommended; garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Can be substituted with vegetable oil if necessary.
For the Base
  • 2 cups Rice Jasmine or basmati rice works nicely; quinoa is a healthy alternative.
For the Vegetables
  • 2 cups Vegetables (e.g., cucumbers, carrots, spinach) Use any preferred or seasonal vegetables.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound of ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and no longer pink. Stir occasionally.
  2. When the beef is fully cooked, lower the heat slightly and stir in minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Simmer together for about 3-4 minutes.
  3. While the mixture simmers, prepare your rice or quinoa following package instructions, which takes around 10-15 minutes to cook.
  4. To assemble your bowl, spoon the beef mixture over a bed of cooked rice and top with fresh vegetables.
