Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef 90/10 or leaner
  • 1.5 cups jasmine rice uncooked
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup edamame shelled
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet or Wok
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Cook the jasmine rice according to package directions.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water to create a slurry, then whisk it into the sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
  4. Pour the sauce over the cooked beef. Bring to a simmer and stir for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  5. While the beef simmers, quickly steam the broccoli florets and edamame until tender-crisp.
  6. To assemble, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with the saucy beef, steamed broccoli, edamame, and shredded carrots. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
