  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Description

A hearty and nutritious high protein beef and rice bowl packed with lean ground beef, brown rice, and fresh vegetables, perfect for a balanced meal.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup brown rice
2 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro


Instructions

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and shredded carrots. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika to the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for 2 more minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
Fluff the cooked brown rice with a fork and divide it evenly among four bowls.
Top each bowl of rice with the high protein beef and vegetable mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy your high protein beef and rice bowl.
