Teriyaki Ground Beef Bowls
Description
The recipe begins by preparing cooked rice sufficient for five servings. Ground beef is cooked in a skillet with a light seasoning of salt and pepper, then set aside. In the same pan, onions, carrots, and celery are stir-fried until slightly softened and lightly browned, followed by the addition of zucchini and minced garlic to add color and aroma without overcooking the vegetables.
Lastly, the cooked beef is combined back with the vegetables, and teriyaki sauce is tossed throughout to coat evenly, imparting a glossy finish and signature flavor. The components are assembled into individual bowls with a base of fluffy rice, topped with the teriyaki beef and vegetable mix, offering a mix of tender beef and crisp-tender vegetables infused with the sauce.
The cooking method preserves some crunch in the vegetables and prevents the teriyaki from overpowering the natural flavors, making this a well-balanced and filling dish that can be reheated if needed.
Ingredients
- 5 cups rice cooked
- 2 lbs ground beef 90/10
- 1 medium zucchini
- ½ lb carrot
- ½ lb celery
- 1 small onion
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce pick a bottled one from the store
Instructions
- Make enough rice to yield 5 cups of cooked rice. 1 cup of dry rice will make between 2-3 cups of cooked rice depending on what type of rice you use.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add in ½ tbsp of oil. Place the beef into the skillet and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- While the beef is cooking, wash and cut all of your vegetables. Cut the zucchini, celery, and carrots into a medium dice on a bias. Cut the onions into thin slices. Mince or grate the garlic into fine pieces.
- Once the beef has finished cooking, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of oil and add in the onions, carrots and celery. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes to develop some color and lightly soften.
- Make some room in the center of the pan and add an additional ½ tbsp of oil and the zucchini and garlic. Stir fry for an additional few minutes to develop color. You don't want to take these vegetables too far as you will be reheating them again in the microwave so if you overcook them they will be mushy. You want them to still have some bite to them.
- Once the vegetables have finished add the beef back to the skillet and pour over ½ cup of teriyaki sauce and mix in. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
