Description
A delightful mix of savory ground beef and sweet, spicy hot honey served over jasmine rice with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Pour in the hot honey and soy sauce, stirring to coat the beef evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
- In a separate pan, add a little olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Season with a pinch of salt.
- In serving bowls, layer the fluffy jasmine rice as the base. Top with the caramelized ground beef mixture, followed by the sautéed bell peppers.
- Drizzle the dish with sesame oil and fresh lime juice. Sprinkle the sliced green onions on top for added freshness and color. Enjoy your vibrant Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl warm!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
