Description
A delicious and hearty ground beef rice bowl topped with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20 for optimal flavor
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine, basmati, or brown rice)
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, sliced cucumber, kimchi, or pickled vegetables
- Optional veggies: bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, or spinach
- Optional egg: a fried egg on top for added richness
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Alternatively, use a rice cooker by adding rinsed rice and water and cooking according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- For instant pot, combine rinsed rice and water in the pot. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes, then allow a natural release.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks, and brown until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for a couple of minutes to meld flavors.
- Assemble the Bowl: Spoon a generous amount of cooked rice into a bowl, top with the seasoned ground beef mixture, and add any additional vegetables on top or around the beef.
Notes
- This recipe is versatile; feel free to adjust the vegetables and toppings according to your preference.
- Using a combination of different types of rice can add more texture and flavor.
