Ingredients

• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups water
• 8 ounces vegan beef strips
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, prepare the marinade for the vegan beef strips. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, black pepper, minced garlic, and ginger.

Step 4

Add the vegan beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 5

In a large skillet or wok, over medium-high heat, add a little more sesame oil if needed, and cook the marinated vegan beef strips for about 5-7 minutes until browned and heated through. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, sliced carrot, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the vegan beef strips back to the skillet, toss everything together, and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

To assemble the rice bowls, divide the cooked brown rice among 4 bowls. Top with the stir-fried vegan beef and vegetables.

Step 9

Garnish each bowl with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately.
