Korean Rice Bowls

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

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.

2. 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.

3. 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!).

4. 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.
