Ingredients (~6 servings)

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 3/4 cup tamari
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp honey
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 3 Tbsp mirin
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup water

 

Rice Bowl

  • 3 cups jasmine rice, cooked
  • 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 12 oz broccolini, chopped
  • 1 large red bell pepper, diced small
  • 4 baby bok choy, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar snap peas, thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • toasted sesame seeds for garnish

 

Start the Rice First

Cook the jasmine rice according to package directions since it takes the longest.

Keep it warm while you prep everything else.

Make the Teriyaki Sauce

Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for ~3-4 minutes until it thickens.

The sauce should coat the back of a spoon when it’s ready.

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Brown the Ground Beef

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through – about ~6-8 minutes.

Drain any excess fat if needed.

Add the Vegetables and Keep Them Crisp

Add the broccolini, red bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and bok choy to the same skillet with the beef.

Cook for ~2-3 minutes, stirring constantly and quickly.

You want the vegetables to stay crisp and bright, not steamed and soggy.

Glaze Everything with Teriyaki

Pour about 1/2 cup of the teriyaki sauce over the beef and vegetables.

Hold back the remaining sauce for drizzling when you serve.

Stir to coat everything evenly in the glaze.

Build the Bowls

Spoon the warm rice into each bowl, then top with the beef and vegetable mixture.

Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the top.
