Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef (93% lean or higher)
• 1 cup brown rice
• 1.5 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 2 medium carrots, julienned
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and beef broth. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, around 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat as needed.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and ginger to the beef, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced red bell pepper and julienned carrots, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt to the beef mixture. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to marry the flavors.

Step 7

Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork.

Step 8

Divide the rice into bowls and top with the beef and vegetable mixture.

Step 9

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm for a satisfying and healthy meal.
