Asian Beef Rice Bowls Recipes

30-MINUTE HOISIN BEEF BOWLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, using your hands, mash the beef with the baking soda. Let it sit on the counter for 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, tomato paste, sesame oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
• Once the beef is "treated" and ready to cook, heat the vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Brown the beef, stirring frequently and breaking into pieces, until just slightly pink, about 5 minutes. (I don't drain the fat - there's not that much and it adds flavor.)
• Add the garlic, ginger, and light scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, a few minutes.
• Add the reserved hoisin sauce mixture and cook until the beef is well-coated and cooked through, about a minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Gently stir in the remaining scallions and spoon the beef into bowls over rice. Top with sesame seeds, chopped cashews, and shredded veggies, if you like.
• Note: To get this dish done in 30 minutes, chop the garlic, ginger, and scallions while the meat is being treated with baking soda.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The meat mixture can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

• Serve over hot rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

ASIAN BEEF RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir together vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Add carrots and radishes; cover and refrigerate 35 to 40 minutes or until vegetables are lightly pickled. Drain; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add beef and 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame oil. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain, and set aside. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil, the garlic and gingerroot to skillet. Cook and stir about 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant; add beef, green onions, soy sauce, fish sauce and honey. Stir well. Add broth; heat to simmering. Simmer 13 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broth is mostly absorbed.
• Serve over cooked rice; top with pickled vegetables and cilantro.
