Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup bell pepper julienned (any colour)
  • 1 cup cabbage julienned (I used both green and purple)
  • 1 cup carrots julienned
  • ½ cup onion julienned
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
Teriyaki Glaze
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce store-bought or use my homemade version
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chili crisp optional, highly recommended
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ¼ cup of water or stock - if too dry
  • Cooked rice for serving
  • Optional: sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Cook the ground beef: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon. Leave it alone to crisp up and fully cooked, about 5–6 minutes. 
  2. Add the garlic and onions: Add the minced garlic and the onions, saute for 2 minutes.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: Add the bell pepper, carrots and cabbage to the pan. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the veggies are slightly tender but still crisp.
  4. Add the sauce: Pour in the teriyaki sauce, chili crisp, honey, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine and let everything simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the beef and veggies. Pro tip: If it's too dry, add ¼ cup of water or stock.
  5. Serve: Spoon the teriyaki beef mixture over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and chili oil if desired.

Notes

  • You can double the sauce if you prefer your bowls extra saucy. This recipe is also great for meal prep - just store in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
  • Don’t overcook the veggies – Keep them crisp-tender for the best texture and color.
  • Use any vegetables - this is a great “clear the fridge” recipe!
  • Double the sauce - If you love saucy bowls or plan to meal prep, make extra for drizzling!
