# Instructions:
01 -
Dice 1/2 yellow onion and 1 large red bell pepper. Mince 2 cloves garlic and thinly slice 2 scallions. Thaw 1 cup shelled edamame and dice 1 large avocado. This initial prep ensures a smooth cooking process for your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl: High-Protein & Meal Prep Ready.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp Sriracha, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp water. Whisk until well combined and set aside. This sweet and spicy glaze is key to the vibrant flavor of your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl.
03 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced 1/2 yellow onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add 1.5 lbs 90/10 lean ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
04 -
Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the minced 2 cloves garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Season the beef generously with salt and black pepper to taste. This forms the savory foundation for your high-protein meal.
05 -
Pour the prepared Sweet & Spicy Hot Honey Glaze over the ground beef mixture. Stir well to coat all the beef evenly. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and infuse the beef with flavor.
06 -
Divide the glazed ground beef among 4 meal prep containers or serving bowls. Top each portion with the diced 1 large red bell pepper, 1 cup shelled edamame, and diced 1 large avocado. This completes your delicious Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl: High-Protein & Meal Prep Ready.
07 -
Garnish each bowl with thinly sliced 2 scallions and 1 tsp sesame seeds. Serve immediately for a fresh meal, or cool completely before sealing containers for convenient meal prep throughout the week.
# Notes:
01 -
For best meal prep results, store the avocado separately or add it just before serving to prevent browning. The other components will hold up well for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
02 -
This bowl is fantastic on its own, but for a more substantial meal, serve it over a bed of steamed rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
03 -
Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the glaze to suit your preference. For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef while cooking.
04 -
Feel free to customize your bowl with other quick-cooking vegetables like shredded carrots, snap peas, or steamed broccoli florets.
