# Instructions:
01 -
Begin by cooking 1 1/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice according to package directions. This will form the wholesome base for your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl | High-Protein Meal Prep. Set aside once cooked.
02 -
Finely dice 1/2 yellow onion, mince 3 cloves garlic, and grate 1 tsp fresh ginger. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup hot honey, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil for the glaze.
03 -
Toss 1 lb broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Alternatively, pan-fry until cooked through.
04 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10) and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
05 -
Reduce heat to medium. Stir the diced 1/2 yellow onion, minced 3 cloves garlic, and grated 1 tsp fresh ginger into the browned beef. Cook for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and the onion softens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
06 -
Pour the prepared hot honey glaze over the beef mixture in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and infuse the beef with flavor for your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl | High-Protein Meal Prep.
07 -
Divide the cooked 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, hot honey beef, and 1 lb roasted broccoli florets evenly among 4 meal prep containers. Garnish each Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl | High-Protein Meal Prep with thinly sliced 2 green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving or storing.

Feel free to substitute broccoli with other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas, bell peppers, or asparagus. Adjust cooking times as needed.

For a milder bowl, reduce the amount of hot honey or use regular honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes. For extra heat, add more hot honey or a dash of sriracha.
