Firecracker Beef Bowls
This Firecracker Beef Bowl recipe is the perfect blend of spicy and sweet, with a kick of heat from the crushed red pepper flakes and a drizzle of hot sauce in the Firecracker Sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef or bison
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 12 ozs sweet mini peppers, thinly sliced
- 4 medium carrots, thinly sliced
Firecracker Sauce:
- 1/2 cup hot sauce of your choice
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos, tamari, Braggs liquid aminos, or low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
To make your bowls:
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
- 4 cups steamed broccoli
- sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook your ground meat, while mincing it with a wooden spoon.
- Once the beef is no longer pink, drain any excess grease. Stir in your sea salt, onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Continue to cook, stirring often for 5 minutes. If it starts to brown too quickly, add a bit of water.
- Pour in the firecracker sauce over your meat then add the peppers and carrots.
- Continue to cook for about 8 minutes more.
- To assemble your bowls, add 1/2 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa in each bowl.
- Top each with equally firecracker beef then add steamed broccoli next to it.
- Garnish with green onions and enjoy!
