Ingredients
1 cup uncooked white rice, rinsed
1 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups shredded carrots
8 ounces mushrooms, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1⁄2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 lbs ground beef, cooked
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
1. If you don’t have pre-cooked ground beef, cook it in a skillet first, set a side, and wipe down the skillet. Also, cook the rice according to the package instructions.
2. In your medium skillet, bring the soy sauce or coconut aminos to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat, stir in the ginger and sesame oil, and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and broccoli and cook, stirring, for 6 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
4. Add the cooked ground beef and the teriyaki sauce. Stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, until the ground beef is heated through, then remove from the heat.
5. Garnish with the sesame seeds and serve with the rice.
Notes
- Omit the coconut aminos, ground ginger, and sesame oil and substitute 1⁄2 cup of your favorite store-bought teriyaki sauce.
- Just add it in step 4 with the ground beef.
- Buy preshredded carrots and precut fresh or frozen broccoli florets to reduce the prep time.
