Easy Beef Bowls is a quick and flavorful recipe featuring tender ground beef cooked with a savory hoisin-soy sauce blend, fresh garlic, ginger, and crisp red bell peppers served over fluffy jasmine rice. Perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal that comes together in just 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked white jasmine rice
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

Garnish (optional)

  • Scallions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the jasmine rice according to the package instructions, ensuring it is fluffy and fully cooked. Adjust the quantity if you normally prepare a different amount for four servings.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the lean ground beef. Use a spoon to break it up while cooking until the beef is browned and fully cooked, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess fat if there is too much.
  3. Mix in the Sauce: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the brown sugar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, grated ginger, and minced garlic evenly into the cooked beef.
  4. Cook with Bell Pepper: Reduce the heat to medium and return the skillet to the stove. Add the chopped red bell pepper and cook for a few more minutes, stirring frequently, until the peppers are tender but still crisp.
  5. Serve: Spoon the savory beef mixture over the cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately for a delicious and balanced meal.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, choose lean ground beef with less fat content.
  • You can substitute white jasmine rice with brown rice or quinoa for a different texture and added nutrition.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired level of spiciness.
  • Garnishes like chopped scallions and sesame seeds add extra flavor and visual appeal but are optional.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 2 days.
