Description

A delightful one-bowl meal combining savory ground beef with rice and vibrant veggies, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 blend for flavor)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5–7 minutes).
  2. Drain excess fat if necessary, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. If using, add broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook until tender, about 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Serve the cooked rice topped with the savory ground beef mixture.
  6. Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added crunch and flavor boost.

Notes

Adjust spice levels by modifying red pepper flakes; you can also add your favorite vegetables for extra nutrition.
