Spicy Hot Honey Ground Beef Bowls

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, and soy sauce until fully combined. Set the glaze aside.

💡 Tip: Adjust the hot sauce quantity depending on your preferred spice tolerance.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

💡 Tip: Watch closely so the garlic does not burn.

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until completely browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess grease from the pan.

💡 Tip: Letting the beef sit undisturbed for a minute at the start helps build a nice sear.

Pour the prepared hot honey sauce over the browned beef. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the meat beautifully.

💡 Tip: Stir frequently to prevent the sugars in the honey from scorching.

Assemble the bowls by dividing the warm jasmine rice equally. Top with the glazed hot honey beef, fresh cucumber slices, green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

💡 Tip: Drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the top of the bowls.
