    Why you'll love it

    Making Asian-style food is one of my favorite things to do, especially when it's this tasty and fast. What's not to love about tender beef and a sauce that includes fresh ginger and garlic, soy sauce, and a hint of brown sugar? One lovely reader said her only regret was not seeing this recipe sooner!

    These beef and rice bowls are Korean inspired, but I do use hoisin sauce, which is Chinese. While not an authentic Asian dish, this ground beef recipe is a totally simple and very satisfying way to enjoy an affordable protein that you'll put on repeat.

    What you'll need

    • Rice - I like jasmine rice best, but use your favorite
    • Ground beef - I prefer using lean (at least 90% lean) ground beef for this recipe because then you don't have to worry about draining the fat
    • Brown sugar - for a hint of sweetness to balance the sauce
    • Hoisin sauce - it's a dark sauce made with soybeans that has an irresistible flavor uniquely its own. It's sweeter and thicker than soy sauce, savory and tangy, and some have described it as Asian BBQ sauce! Find it in the Asian aisle at most major grocery stores.
    • Soy sauce - I use the regular kind, but use low sodium if that's a concern
    • Siracha - we're only using enough for a gentle warmth
    • Ginger - this gives a zesty, fragrant zing
    • Garlic - we're pretty generous, but feel free to add even more
    • Red pepper and scallions - for a pop of color and crunch
    ingredients for beef bowls in prep bowls

    Pro tip

    • To easily grate fresh ginger, store it in the freezer! It sounds unusual, but I've been doing it for years. Use a Microplane to zest it. You'll also never run out of fresh ginger or have it go bad in your fridge.

    How to make beef bowls

    This is an overview with step-by-step photos. Full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below.

    cooking ground beef in a skillet and adding in sauce ingredients

    Cook the rice. Meanwhile, brown the ground beef until cooked through. Take the pan off the burner, and stir in the sauce ingredients.

    adding red bell pepper to a skillet with seasoned ground beef

    Reduce the heat, then add the chopped red pepper and cook for a few more minutes until it's tender-crisp. Serve over the rice, garnish with scallions, and enjoy!

    Tools for this recipe

    Check out Natasha's favorite kitchen essentials, gadgets, and cookware!

    • Mince the garlic effortlessly with one squeeze of a garlic press, and then store the remainder of the cloves in a garlic keeper that looks adorable on your counter.
    • I use this versatile Le Creuset skillet for everything from stir fries to stovetop chicken recipes.
    • A cooking spoon is what I use to break up the beef while it's cooking.

    Substitutions and variations

    • This is the type of recipe where you can definitely adjust the sauce ingredients to taste, so don't be shy! I love to add extra hoisin sauce to mine.
    • Some readers enjoy doubling the sauce completely if you're into lots of sauce! As written, it doesn't make tons.
    • I added a red pepper bell for color and a bit of freshness. If you don't like them, you could leave it out. It won't make or break the recipe.
    • You don't need to go out and buy sriracha sauce just for this recipe if you never use it, but I do like the flavor it adds. I didn't use a lot so as not to make it too spicy for most people, but you can always add more if you want to give this recipe more heat.

    What to serve with these ground beef bowls

    • You don't need to top them with sesame seeds like I did, but it adds a little additional contrast and texture. Fresh bean sprouts would be another great topping for some crunch.
    • If you're not into the rice, swap it out to make a beef noodle bowl. Try Udon, ramen noodles, or rice noodles.
    • Other options are serving it over cauliflower rice, quinoa, or with other veggies.

    Leftovers and storage

    • Store any leftovers for 3-4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. I'd make fresh rice when you eat it.
    • Reheat in a saucepan over a low heat, and you may want to add some extra hoisin sauce and/or sriracha because it tends to dry out a bit the longer you leave it.
    • You can freeze it for up to 3 months.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 cup uncooked rice I used white jasmine rice
    • 1 pound lean ground beef
    • 1 tablespoon (packed) brown sugar
    • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
    • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    • 3 cloves garlic minced
    • 1 red bell pepper chopped
    • Garnish (optional): scallions, sesame seeds

    Instructions
     

    • Cook the rice according to package directions. If you have a different amount you usually make for 4 people, just make your usual amount.
    • Meanwhile, add the beef to a skillet over medium-high heat and break it up with your spoon as you go along until it's cooked (approx. 8-10 minutes). If there's a lot of excess fat, drain most of it.
    • Take the pan off the heat and stir in the sauce ingredients (sugar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, ginger, and garlic).
    • Reduce the heat to medium and return the pan to the heat. Add the chopped red bell pepper. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring often, until the peppers are tender-crisp.
    • Serve the beef over the rice and garnish as desired.

    Notes

    • To easily grate fresh ginger, freeze a whole piece. It grates much easier and you'll always have some on-hand. This Microplane is the handy tool I use to grate/zest it.
    • If you don't have sriracha sauce, you can leave it out. If you love sriracha, don't hesitate to add more than 1 teaspoon!

      One of my goals for next year is to cook more adventurously. I'm not a picky eater but we seem to default to a few recipes in rotation. This will definitelt be a nice departure from our predictable go-tos. We get half a cow form my cousin's farm a couple of times a year so there's always beef in the freezer.
      Also, thank-you Thank You THANK YOU for the tip about storing ginger in the freezer. I get mine by the 1/3 pound from an organic produce subscription and it's shrivelled before I can use it all.

      Tried this for dinner last night, it was yummy,I will make again. One thing is when you make asian dishes you can use almost any veggie in place of or with the peppers. I used rough cut cabbage and sliced onions as I didn't have green onions for garnish. I would love to try zucchini, mushrooms, green beans. Thank You for this wonderful recipe.

      I made this for dinner tonight and it was so good! The sauce alone is delicious, definitely going to use your recipe for the next time I make stir fry. I doubled the sauce and topped with quick pickled shredded carrots, shallots, & jalapeños. This dinner was so easy to make and came together very quickly, I'm adding it to my rotation. Thanks so much for quality, accessible recipes!

      Hi again Natasha! Made this tonight and it was fabulous, a huge hit by all! And I have to say it was by far the easiest recipe of yours I have made. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

      I'm so thankful to your commenters as it gave me great ideas. I doubled the sauce based on their suggestion. I do not do peppers, but substituted with shredded carrots and also added black beans. Served it over jasmine rice (made in the Ipot). I also added half lean turkey to the hamburger to make it healthier. With the tasty sauce it is not noticeable to us.

      Loved the combination of the sauce ingredients. So tasty! We skipped the sriracha as no one thought it was needed.

      This was sooo easy and tasted so good! With the stores being low on a lot of items during this time, I didn't get green onions, fresh ginger root or red bell peppers. I was able to find yellow bell peppers and scallions. I had a jar of dried ginger at home.
      My husband was in the kitchen peeking at what smelled so good while I was cooking.

      This is definitely a keeper!

      This dish was so good. Looking for advice on making it and freezing it or making the sauce ahead of time so the kids can quickly throw it together.

        So glad you liked it!! Hmmm... you could try freezing the beef and sauce once it's cooked. I'm not entirely sure if it would work, but I think it's worth a try!

      I made this tonight and really enjoyed it! I love the hint of spice from the sriracha too. I wonder how this would be with ground turkey?

      Making this for the umpteenth time! This was an immediate hit with us. My husband is very picky and this has gone into a regular rotation. We usually serve it over cauliflower rice. The flavour is great, i almost always have the ingredients on hand, and it is amazing leftover the next day for lunch. Oh...my husband throws some crushed peanuts on his for a little extra crunch. Thanks for sharing your recipes!

              I don't believe so. You'd have to check the labels of the ingredients you're planning on using to be safe.

      This was so delicious and quick! I don't think I've ever had dinner ready that fast before. My partner loved it. 3rd recipe of yours that I've tried - all of them have been hits.

      I just came across your website a couple of days ago. I have made 2 dishes of yours, and my mom has made 1. Excited to try this one tonight!
      Also super handy that you’re from Canada — I can actually find the ingredients! (From Calgary!)
      Thanks for these amazing recipes!

        Hi Maria! I currently have the Lee Kum Kee brand in my fridge. I'm in Canada, so what's sold where may vary per country. I like the brand I mentioned, but I'm not too picky and I typically just buy what's available at Safeway.
