Ingredients
Gathering ingredients for this dish is as simple as a stroll through your local grocery store. Here’s what you need to create this flavorful meal:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup hot honey (or regular honey + 1 tablespoon hot sauce)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced

If you’re like my husband Marco, who loves a bit more heat, feel free to add extra hot sauce or even some diced jalapeños. And don’t worry if you can’t find hot honey — mixing honey with your favorite hot sauce does the trick beautifully!
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to whip up this delightful dish:
- Cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, around 4-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hot honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the beef mixture over a bed of cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and crunch.
As you cook, remember the lessons from my abuela: follow your senses. Adjust the seasonings as you go to make the dish truly yours. Cooking is an art, not a science!
