Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams lean ground beef
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 medium onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 100 grams fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Start by cooking the brown rice. Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water, then combine with 2 cups of low sodium beef broth in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
While the rice is cooking, finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the red bell pepper and carrot into small pieces.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add 300 grams of lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is cooked, stir in the chopped red bell pepper and carrot. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Divide the cooked brown rice equally into four bowls. Top each bowl with the beef and vegetable mixture.
Garnish each rice bowl with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat savory beef rice bowl!
