If you’re craving a nourishing, protein-rich meal that’s ready in about 20 minutes, this Beef Bowl Recipe is it. Packed with flavorful ginger garlic beef and a mix of veggies, this dish is delicious on its own as a low-carb option or paired with rice, quinoa, or sweet potato for extra fuel. (26g protein 5g fiber per serving)
I personally love serving my beef bowl with quinoa. It has more fiber and protein than rice and soaks up the savory ginger-garlic sauce perfectly. (This recipe is gluten-free and dairy free)
This bowl is also super budget-friendly made with ground beef instead of steak, plus fresh veggies and a sauce you can whip up with simple pantry staples. It’s proof that healthy, flavorful meals don’t have to break the bank. PLUS, it is great for meal prep!
Ingredients What You Will Need To Make This Beef Bowl Recipe:
- Ground Meat of Choice: This recipe works well with ground beef, ground chicken, ground bison, or ground pork. I like to use ground bison.
- Mixed Peppers: Use a variety or red, green, yellow, or orange peppers. To save time and money you can use a precut bag of frozen peppers
- Onion: Use red, white, or yellow.
- Cauliflower: You’ll need a half of head of cauliflower. You can also use broccoli if you prefer.
FOR THE GARLIC GINGER SAUCE
You can easily double the sauce or even make a large batch and store in the fridge to use when you need.
- 1/4 cup Coconut Amino: Feel free to sub with soy sauce if you do not have any allergies
- 2-3 tbsp Coconut or Brown Sugar
- 1-2 tbsp minced garlic: use as much or as little garlic as you prefer.
- 2 heaping tablespoons minced ginger: make sure to use two large tablespoons
- 1-2 tsp chili sauce (optional): for a bit of spice. You could also add few teaspoons of gochujang instead.
