Ingredients

Scale

Beef & Protein

  • Lean beef strips (flank or sirloin), about 1 lb

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 2-3 fresh bell peppers, sliced
  • 4-5 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)

Base

  • 4 cups fluffy cooked jasmine or basmati rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for optimal tenderness. Chop bell peppers and green onions, mince garlic and ginger, and measure out soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar so everything is prepped and ready for cooking.
  2. Cook the Beef: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook until browned but still juicy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant. Then add sliced bell peppers and green onions, stir-frying until crisp-tender, which keeps the vegetables vibrant and texturally appealing.
  4. Combine Sauces and Beef: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Pour this sauce into the pan with the vegetables, then return the browned beef. Toss everything to coat evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Serve Over Rice: Fluff the cooked rice and divide it into serving bowls. Spoon the savory beef and vegetable mixture generously over the rice. Finish with optional red pepper flakes if desired, and enjoy your High Protein Beijing Beef Rice Bowls.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness and quicker cooking.
  • Use high heat to sear the beef, locking in juices and flavor.
  • Prep all ingredients beforehand for smooth and efficient cooking.
  • Do not overcook vegetables to maintain crispness and color.
  • Adjust sweetness and acidity by tasting and modifying honey and rice vinegar quantities according to preference.
