Ingredients
For the Sauce
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
For the Stir Fry
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper deseeded, cored, and cut into 2" slices
- 1/2 pound broccoli big stems removed and cut into thin slices about 1/4" to 1/2" thick
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic minced
For Serving
- Brown rice cooked according to package (4 servings)
- Fried egg to go on top (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and broccoli and cook while stirring occasionally until the veggies begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Move the veggies over to the side in the pan and add the ground beef and garlic. Brown the meat while breaking it up with a spatula. Once the beef is cooked all the way through (no longer pink), mix it together with the veggies and pour in the sauce (use a rubber spatula so you don't leave any of the honey behind!).
- Turn the heat down to low and stir until the meat and veggies are well coated with the sauce. Once the sauce thickens, after about 2 to 3 minutes, spoon the mixture over brown rice, season with salt and pepper, add a fried egg on top (if using), and serve.
Notes
- Gluten-Free if you sub soy sauce for tamari.
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
