Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 300g 5% fat beef mince
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 20ml dark soy sauce
- 15ml sriracha
- 10g tomato puree
- 20g honey
- 250g cooked rice
Optional Toppings
- Sliced spring onion
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Chop the onion and bell pepper into small pieces, mince the garlic cloves finely to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor release.
- Cook Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef mince and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes. Break up any large clumps to ensure even browning.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook together, stirring, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, mix dark soy sauce, sriracha, tomato puree, and honey. Pour this sauce mixture into the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Combine with Rice: Add the cooked rice to the skillet and toss everything together until the rice is heated through and fully coated with the sauce, about 2 minutes.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the crispy chilli beef rice to serving plates. Optionally, sprinkle with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds for added freshness and texture before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of sriracha.
- Use freshly cooked rice for best texture, preferably cooled rice to prevent it from becoming mushy.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute dark soy sauce with tamari.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
