Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 2 cups cooked rice (about 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice or use brown rice)
- 2 tablespoons hot honey (or regular honey with a pinch of cayenne)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetables of choice (diced bell peppers, broccoli florets, sliced carrots, snap peas, or spinach)
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
- Meanwhile, cook rice according to package directions so it’s ready when the beef finishes. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
- In the last 2–4 minutes of beef cooking, add your chosen vegetables. Stir frequently until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the hot honey evenly over the beef–vegetable mixture. Stir to coat.
- Serve the beef and veg over fluffy rice, finished with chopped green onions.
Notes
To make it leaner, swap half the beef for ground turkey or crumbled firm tofu. Use jasmine or basmati rice for a fragrant flavor.
