Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup steamed broccoli
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes.
- Drain excess fat: Carefully drain any excess grease from the skillet to keep the dish from being too oily.
- Season the beef: Sprinkle garlic powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper over the cooked beef. Stir well to evenly combine all the flavors.
- Add hot honey: Pour in the hot honey and mix thoroughly to coat the beef, allowing the sweet and spicy flavors to meld.
- Assemble the bowl: Serve the hot honey beef mixture over a bed of cooked rice and top with steamed broccoli for a complete, balanced meal.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when seasoning the beef.
- Use brown rice or quinoa as a healthier grain alternative.
- Steamed broccoli can be substituted with other vegetables like green beans or snap peas.
- Hot honey can be made at home by infusing honey with chili flakes for a custom spice level.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
