# Instructions:

Dice 1/2 yellow onion and 1 red bell pepper. Mince 3 cloves garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tsp rice vinegar to create your Sweet & Spicy Drizzle.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean) and cook, breaking it apart, until thoroughly browned. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
03 -
Add the diced 1/2 yellow onion to the skillet with the beef and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, forming the Umami-Rich Beef Foundation for your Savory Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl - High Protein Meal Prep.

While the beef cooks, steam 2 cups broccoli florets until tender-crisp. You can also quickly sauté the diced 1 red bell pepper in a separate pan or add it to the beef mixture for the last few minutes of cooking. Thaw 1/2 cup shelled edamame.
05 -
Pour the prepared Sweet & Spicy Drizzle (1/4 cup honey, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp rice vinegar) over the beef mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. This brings together the core flavors of your Savory Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl - High Protein Meal Prep.

Divide 4 cups cooked brown rice among four meal prep containers. Top each with an equal portion of the hot honey ground beef mixture, steamed 2 cups broccoli florets, diced 1 red bell pepper, and 1/2 cup thawed shelled edamame.
07 -
Garnish each Savory Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl - High Protein Meal Prep with 2 tbsp chopped green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving or sealing for meal prep. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
