Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (93% lean preferred)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp sriracha or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chili crisp (optional)
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (or cauliflower rice for low-carb)
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional for crunch)

Instructions

  1. Cook rice or cauliflower rice according to package instructions. Steam or sauté bell pepper and broccoli until just tender (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, chili crisp, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth. Taste and adjust heat as desired.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Break up with a spatula and cook until deeply browned and slightly crispy at the edges. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Lower heat to medium. Pour hot honey sauce over browned beef. Stir to coat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  5. Spoon rice into serving bowls. Top with hot honey beef, bell pepper, and broccoli. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  6. Drizzle extra hot honey and a squeeze of lime juice if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Cauliflower rice lowers carbs. Adjust sriracha for spice level. Use local honey for best flavor. Prep veggies while rice cooks for efficiency. Leftovers keep well and freeze up to 2 months.
