Spicy Beefy Rice Bowls
This bowl is easy to make, yummy and is a perfect fast weeknight meal! You don't have to make it spicy, just omit the sauce at the end.
Ingredients
Beef Bowl
- 2 lbs ground beef (use only 1 lb if you are making for 3-4 people)
- EVOO
- salt and pepper
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup beef stock
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- frozen mixed veggies from Trader Joe's. I like the one with bell peppers & onion. Other good ingredients for the mixed veggies are shredded carrots and mushrooms.
- jasmine white rice (trader joe's frozen section) prepared and cooked
- 6 green onions chopped
- fresh chili garlic sauce from the Asian food aisle or get Trader Joes Sweet Chili Sauce-it's SO good! Optional Topping
Instructions
Jasmine White Rice
-
I used the Trader Joe's option from the freezer section. Microwave according to the directions.
Beef Bowl
-
Gather all the ingredients, ground beef, olive oil, S & P, soy sauce, beef stock, garlic, mixed veggies, rice, green onions, and chili garlic sauce.
-
Get out a large pan and over medium-high heat start cooking the ground beef. Drizzle EVOO over the meat. Break up the meat until crumbly. Season with s & p. Drain off the fat after the meat is no longer pink.
-
Stir in the soy sauce and the beef stock and bring the meat mixture up to a simmer. Simmer for 2-3 minutes and then add the garlic and simmer for another minute.
-
Next add in the mixed veggies and simmer them in the meat for 3-4 minutes but not too long, you don't want mushy veggies.
Assemble the Beef Bowl
-
Add the cooked rice to your bowl and top with the meat and veggie mixture. Sprinkle green onions and the chili sauce over top. Easy Peasy-Enjoy!
