Ingredients

• 300 grams lean ground beef
• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups low sodium beef broth
• 1 medium onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium carrot
• 100 grams fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 as needed olive oil spray
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Start by cooking the brown rice. Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water, then combine with 2 cups of low sodium beef broth in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the red bell pepper and carrot into small pieces.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add 300 grams of lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Once the beef is cooked, stir in the chopped red bell pepper and carrot. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Step 9

Divide the cooked brown rice equally into four bowls. Top each bowl with the beef and vegetable mixture.

Step 10

Garnish each rice bowl with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat savory beef rice bowl!
