Description

Delicious meal prep bowls featuring spicy ground beef, colorful veggies, and brown rice, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving just enough to boost the flavors.
  2. Stir in soy sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the ingredients meld together beautifully.
  3. Meanwhile, steam the broccoli and bell peppers until just tender, keeping them vibrant and crisp—this step is key to maintaining their crunchy texture.
  4. In meal prep containers, evenly divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa, seasoned beef, and the vibrant steamed vegetables.
  5. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Allow the meal prep bowls to cool, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Feel free to customize with your favorite proteins and vegetables. Great for meal prep and weeknight dinners.
