Ingredients
1 lb (450g) lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10)
1 cup cooked white rice (3/4 cup uncooked)
3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
2 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground ginger, optional
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C)
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
Cook ground beef 4-5 minutes per side until browned and crispy, drain excess fat if needed
Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds (avoid burning)
Mix in soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and ginger
Reduce heat to medium, let simmer 3-4 minutes while stirring until glaze thickens
Optional: add cornstarch slurry for desired sauce consistency
Serve hot beef over cooked rice
Notes
For extra crispy beef, use cast-iron skillet
Use alcohol-free soy sauce if preferred
Add steamed broccoli for more vegetables
Letting beef rest in oven during glaze preparation works well for multi-tasking
