  • Diet: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

Description

A quick and savory weeknight dish featuring caramelized beef, tender veggies, and a runny scrambled egg over hot rice.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated or finely minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (reserve some for garnish)
  • 1 cup vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, or a mix), chopped small
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (use reduced-sodium if preferred)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (short- or long-grain)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Break it up and cook until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if needed.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  5. Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet and cook until tender-crisp, about 3–5 minutes.
  6. In a separate small pan, scramble the egg over medium-low heat until softly set.
  7. Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top each bowl with the beef-vegetable mixture, then place the scrambled egg on top.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and optional toppings.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use tamari in place of soy sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
