Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb Ground Beef
Vegetables
- 1 Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 2-3 cloves Garlic, minced
Condiments
- 2-3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1-2 tbsp Chili Paste
Grains
- 2 cups Rice, uncooked
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and chopping your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. This will ensure they cook evenly and quickly during stir-frying. Also, measure out your ground beef and rice to have everything ready for cooking.
- Cook the Rice: Prepare your rice according to package instructions. For best results, use a rice cooker or a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Fluffy, steamy rice will be the perfect base for your stir-fry.
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish light.
- Sauté the Garlic and Veggies: Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, toss in the bell peppers and broccoli, stirring frequently until they are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine and Season: Return the cooked ground beef to the pan with the veggies. Stir in soy sauce and chili paste, mixing well to coat everything in flavor. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
- Serve and Enjoy: Finally, serve your Spicy Ground Beef Stir-Fry Bowl with Garlic Veggies & Steamy Rice by spooning the stir-fry over a bed of rice. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired!
Notes
- Use High Heat: Cooking on high heat helps achieve the perfect stir-fry texture, keeping your veggies crisp.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: If making a large batch, cook in batches to ensure even cooking.
- Prep Ahead: Cut and measure ingredients in advance to make the cooking process even quicker.
- Adjust Sauce to Taste: Feel free to modify the soy sauce or chili paste according to your flavor preference.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Using fresh veggies and herbs will significantly enhance the dish’s flavor profile.
