Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb ground beef
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
Sauce
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
Carbohydrates
- 2 cups cooked rice
Garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat to keep the dish leaner.
- Add teriyaki sauce: Return the skillet to heat and stir in 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce. Continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the beef evenly.
- Prepare the bowl: In serving bowls, layer 2 cups of cooked rice as the base. Top with the teriyaki glazed ground beef and add 2 cups of steamed broccoli florets on the side.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for an added nutty crunch and visual appeal. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic or ginger when cooking the ground beef.
- Use brown rice as a healthier alternative to white rice.
- Adjust the amount of teriyaki sauce to taste, depending on how saucy you prefer the beef.
- Steaming broccoli just until tender helps retain nutrients and vibrant color.
- Sesame seeds can be toasted lightly for enhanced aroma.
