Asian Ground Beef Bowls - Weight Gain

About This Recipe

Ground beef mixed in an Asian inspired sauce and served with a side of rice, and vegetables. Topping this dish with a few peanuts after reheating would be a great addition.

Ingredients

• 5 cups cooked rice
• 1 medium sweet onion
• 1 medium green pepper
• 2 ½ cups shredded carrots
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 lbs ground beef (85/15)
• 8 oz mushrooms
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 2 tsp sriracha
• 1 Tbsp garlic (minced)
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cook enough rice to have 5 cups of cooked rice. 1 cup of uncooked rice will yield around 3 cups of cooked rice.
2. Wash and cut your green pepper into a large dice. Cut your sweet onion into a large dice as well.
3. Cut your mushrooms into quarters if they are small or more if they are larger mushrooms.
4. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat.
5. Add the onion first and cook for 1-2 minutes then add in the green peppers. Cook until soft and remove from the pan.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat. Add in the ground beef and 1 Tbsp minced garlic to cook.
7. When the beef is half way browned, add in the chopped mushrooms and cook together until the beef has fully browned.
8. When the beef has finished, add in 1 Tbsp of honey, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sriracha, 1 tsp sesame oil, and ¼ tsp ground ginger. Stir to incorporate and season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. This recipe makes 5 servings. You do not need to cook the shredded carrots because they will cook when reheated in the microwave. Add ½ cup of rice and carrots to each container and divide the remaining ingredients equally.
