# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp sriracha, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Set aside this sweet and spicy glaze for your Quick Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 yellow onion, diced, and 1 red bell pepper, diced. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
03 - Add 1 lb 90/10 lean ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat for a leaner Quick Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl.
04 - Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated, into the beef and vegetable mixture. Cook for another 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
05 - Pour the prepared hot honey glaze over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
06 - Divide 2 cups cooked brown rice among four serving bowls. Top each with a generous portion of the hot honey ground beef mixture. Garnish with 2 green onions, sliced, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds for a vibrant Quick Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl | High Protein & Meal Prep.

# Notes:

01 - For easy meal prep, store the hot honey beef mixture and cooked brown rice in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently.
02 - Feel free to customize your bowl! Add extra vegetables like broccoli florets or snap peas during the last few minutes of cooking, or swap brown rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice.
03 - Adjust the spice level to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of sriracha in the glaze. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also add extra heat.
04 - For an even richer flavor, top your finished bowl with a fried egg or a drizzle of extra sesame oil just before serving.
