Description

Satisfy your cravings with these Honey Garlic Ground Beef Bowls. Featuring lean ground beef, honey, soy sauce, and vibrant veggies, this dish makes for a delightful dinner that’s both easy to prepare and full of flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef 93/7
  • 2 tsp. oil or butter (10g)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce (80g)
  • 2 tbsp. honey (42g)
  • 1 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp. corn starch
  • 1 cup shredded or matchstick carrots (110g)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets (270g) small or roughly chopped
  • for serving: cooked rice, roasted or mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes
  • for topping: chopped green onions, crushed red pepper or sesame seeds


Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking into tiny crumbles with a wooden spoon or meat masher until browned, about 6–8 minutes, and stir in the minced garlic.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and corn starch.
  4. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir, bringing it to a simmer. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  5. Stir in the shredded carrots and chopped broccoli, cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve the mixture as is or with cooked rice, roasted potatoes, or sweet potatoes.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper to the beef while cooking.
Feel free to substitute chicken or tofu for the ground beef for a different protein option.
Make it a complete meal by serving over rice or mixing in extra veggies.
