Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 300g 5% fat beef mince
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 250g cooked rice

Sauce

  • 20ml dark soy sauce
  • 15ml sriracha
  • 10g tomato puree
  • 20g honey
  • A splash of water

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced spring onion
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables: Chop the onion, bell pepper, and garlic into small pieces to prepare them for sautéing.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the onion and bell pepper for 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant and aromatic.
  3. Cook the beef: Add the beef mince to the pan and stir continuously while cooking. Cook until the liquid from the meat evaporates and the beef is fully browned and crumbly.
  4. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the dark soy sauce, sriracha, tomato puree, honey, and a splash of water until combined into a smooth sauce.
  5. Add the sauce: Pour the sauce into the pan with the beef mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and vegetables.
  6. Combine with rice: Stir in the cooked rice, mixing thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce and heated through.
  7. Serve: Plate the crispy chilli beef rice and garnish with sliced spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use lean mince beef to reduce excess fat and calories.
  • Adjust the quantity of sriracha to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • Leftover rice works best for this dish as it prevents the meal from becoming mushy.
  • For added crunch, toast the sesame seeds lightly before garnishing.
  • This dish can be easily doubled for meal prep or family dinners.
