  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (preferably lean)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup jasmine or brown rice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking your rice according to package instructions. For added flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until tender but still bright green, about 3-4 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ground beef, cooking until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it browns.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Pour the sauce over the cooked ground beef, stirring to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Divide the cooked rice among meal prep containers. Top with cooked ground beef and broccoli florets. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor.

Notes

  • Allow the bowls to cool completely before sealing with lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results, keep the broccoli separate if you prefer it to stay crisp and fresh. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until hot, adding a splash of water if needed to revive the sauce.
  • This recipe can be customized with other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas. For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce. Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free meal.
