02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 lbs 90% lean ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan. This is the savory base for your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl: High Protein Meal Prep Recipe.
03 -
To the browned beef, add 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Stir well and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
04 -
Pour in 1/4 cup hot honey and stir to coat the beef evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and caramelize. Season your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl: High Protein Meal Prep Recipe with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
05 -
In a separate large skillet or the same skillet (wiped clean), add a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Add the 4 cups broccoli florets, 1 large diced red bell pepper, and 1/2 small thinly sliced red onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
06 -
Divide the sautéed vegetables evenly among 4 meal prep containers. Top each with a generous portion of the hot honey ground beef. This completes the main components of your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl: High Protein Meal Prep Recipe.
07 -
Drizzle each bowl with a dollop of the creamy cool down Greek yogurt sauce. Garnish with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately or store for convenient meal prep.
