Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 cups jasmine rice, dry
  • 1/4 cup hot honey
  • 2 tablespoons low -sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Rinse jasmine rice until water runs clear, then cook using a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water until fully hydrated.
  2. In a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat, sear the ground beef while breaking it into 0.5-inch crumbles until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  3. Drain extracted lipids from the skillet, leaving approximately 1 teaspoon for sautéing aromatics.
  4. Incorporate minced garlic and grated ginger into the beef, sautéing for 90 seconds until the Maillard reaction is evident and aromatics are fragrant.
  5. Whisk together hot honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  6. Reduce heat to medium, pour the glaze over the beef, and simmer for 4 minutes until the sauce reduces and coats the protein uniformly.
  7. Steam broccoli florets for 3 minutes until tender-crisp (al dente).
  8. Construct the bowls by layering 1 cup of cooked rice, 4 ounces of glazed beef, and 0.5 cups of steamed broccoli.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper flakes for final presentation.
