Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 4 tbsp sliced green onions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a 12-inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  2. Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, spreading it in an even layer. Let it sit undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms.
  3. Break the beef into small crumbles and cook until the meat is no longer pink.
  4. Lower the heat to medium. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  5. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce bubbles and glazes the beef in a velvety finish.
  6. Divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly among four bowls.
  7. Layer the fresh baby spinach and shredded carrots on opposite sides of the rice.
  8. Scoop the glazed beef into the center of each bowl.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
