  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced

Hot Honey Sauce

  • 1/4 cup hot honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Garnishes

  • Sliced scallions
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Hot Honey Sauce

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine hot honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to ensure even mixing.
  • Pour the hot honey sauce into the skillet with the beef. Stir to coat the meat evenly, and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Assembly

  • Add a base of steamed rice or quinoa to each bowl. Top with the hot honey ground beef, followed by sliced bell peppers.
  • Garnish each bowl with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately for the best flavor.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat before serving.

Notes

Pro Tips: Adjust spice level by varying red pepper flakes. Ingredient Substitutions: Use ground turkey for a lighter dish. How to Serve: Pair with a fresh salad or steamed veggies. Storage & Freshness: Best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare sauce and chop veggies in advance to save time.
