Beef Teriyaki Bowls
by: claire cary
These ground beef teriyaki bowls are my go to easy weeknight dinner recipe! They're packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, gluten free and come together in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Beef
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 green onions diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
- ⅓ cup low sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or more, to taste
- 2 teaspoons chili crunch
- 1 teapsoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Bowl
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 large carrots grated or peeled into ribbons
- 1 cucumber sliced
- 1 cup edamame
- cilantro and sesame seeds to garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the sesame oil. Add in the ground beef and cook until mostly cooked through.
- Add in the green onion (just use the white part and save the green for garnish), and garlic. Saute for a few more minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, then pour in the tamari, chili crunch and honey. In a small dish, whisk together the cornstarch and water.
- Add in the cornstarch mixture and stir everything together. Let simmer until the sauce has thickened. Taste and adjust flavors as desired. This recipe isn't as sweet as most teriyaki, so feel free to add extra honey or some brown sugar if you like.
- Assemble your bowls with a base of rice, then add on the beef, veggies and edamame. Garnish with the cilantro and sesame seeds and enjoy!
Notes
The chili crunch is used to add some spice, but you can just use a chili sauce like sambal oelek if that's what you have!
Please be sure to use low sodium tamari/soy sauce. The regular stuff will be much too strong.
If you don't have fresh ginger, you can sub for 1/2 teaspoon for ground ginger.
