Key Ingredient Notes
- Teriyaki Sauce: you can use a store-bought sauce, but I prefer my homemade teriyaki sauce.
- Lean Ground Beef: I like to use 93% lean ground beef for this recipe. It has great flavor and less fat, which means you can skip having to drain the meat before continuing to cook. If you prefer you can use ground turkey, ground pork, or ground chicken instead.
- Garlic and Ginger: save some time and use crushed frozen garlic and ginger.
- Veggies – add to or swap the veggies with whatever you like best. Bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms all make great additions.
How to Make a Ground Beef Teriyaki Bowl in Minutes
- Cook the beef. Sear the beef in oil over medium heat. Then, flip, break it into pieces, and add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Continue to cook until browned, and transfer it to a plate.
- Sauté the veggies. Add more oil to the skillet if needed, and sauté the carrot, bell pepper, and onion until they’re crisp-tender.
- Combine. Add the beef back to the pan, followed by teriyaki sauce, broccoli, and snow peas. Cook until teh broccoli is bright green and slightly softened.
- Serve. Turn off the heat, and top the mixture with green onions. Serve warm over rice with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Meal Prep Tips
This teriyaki beef bowl is a staple in my meal prep lineup! Here are my tips to keep the ingredients fresh:
- Make the teriyaki sauce – combine the teriyaki sauce ingredients, and store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Cook the ground beef and veggies – store the mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
- Prepare the rice – Cook the rice when you make the ground beef, and then store it in airtight containers as well.

Teriyaki Beef Bowls
- 1/2–1 tablespoon oil
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (93/7)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced

- 12 oz broccoli florets, cut into small to medium pieces
- 4 oz snow peas, cut in half
- 1/4 cup sliced green onion, plus more for serving
- cooked garlic rice, for serving

Instructions
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce: Add all of the ingredients to a sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. While you bring the sauce to a simmer make the cornstarch slurry by whisking together the warm water and cornstarch in a small bowl.
- Once the sauce is simmering, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes as it continues to thicken. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season one side of the ground beef liberally with salt and pepper.
- Cook the beef: Once the skillet is hot, add the oil and then flip the seasoned side of the ground beef into the skillet. Sear the beef for 5-6 minutes on one side and then flip and break the meat up. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to the beef as it continues to cook.
- Sauté the veggies: Keeping the skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit more oil to the pan if needed and then add the carrot, bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the veggies have begun to soften but are still crisp. .
- Add the beef back to the pan and stir to combine with the veggies.
- Next, add 1 cup of the prepared teriyaki sauce and then add the broccoli and snow peas. Stir to combine and sauté for 2-3 more minutes until the broccoli and snow peas become bright green and are tender yet crisp.
- Turn off the heat and finish with green onion. Serve over rice and garnished with sesame seeds.

This is very good. I served it with the garlic rice and made the no bake peanut butter bars for desert! Everything was a success.
I did not have mirin so I used plain rice vinegar, I used soy aminos as I had no coconut aminos. I used 13.7 oz of Gardein soy ground beef in place of real beef. This recipe makes a lot! I won’t need to cook tomorrow! I used frozen broccoli which I thawed and drained first
This is an instant add to the regular rotation! So delicious, and very easy to make!
