# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1 1/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice and 2 1/4 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
02 -
While rice cooks, dice 1 large cucumber and thinly slice 1/2 small red onion. Roughly chop 1/4 cup fresh cilantro. These vibrant toppings add essential freshness to your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl: Viral, High-Protein Recipe.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy. This cool drizzle perfectly balances the heat of the beef in your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl: Viral, High-Protein Recipe.
04 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef, breaking it apart. Season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
05 -
Drain any excess fat from the beef. Stir in 1/4 cup honey and 2 tbsp sriracha (or other hot sauce). Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef. This creates the signature flavor for your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl: Viral, High-Protein Recipe.
06 -
Divide the fluffy jasmine rice among 4 bowls. Top generously with the sizzling hot honey beef. Garnish with the diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro. Drizzle with the creamy Greek yogurt sauce and serve immediately with lime wedges.
# Notes:
01 -
Adjust sriracha to your preference; for extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the beef seasoning.
02 -
Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas to the beef during the last few minutes of cooking.
03 -
For meal prep, cook the beef and rice ahead of time. Store components separately and assemble bowls just before serving.
04 -
Leftover hot honey beef and rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently.
