This flavorful recipe combines savory ground beef with a homemade teriyaki sauce served over rice and vegetables, making it an easy and budget-friendly meal prep option that’s packed with flavor, protein, and nutrients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or hamburger meat for meal prep with hamburger meat)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar for sweetness
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder for thickening
  • 1 cup jasmine or white rice (or your preferred rice for beef and rice meal prep)
  • Steamed vegetables such as broccoli, peppers, or snap peas (optional but recommended)
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook your rice according to package instructions. For a more flavorful twist, consider using risotto rice; let it cool slightly before assembly.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. While the beef is cooking, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour this sauce over the browned beef and simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Divide the cooked rice into meal prep containers. Top with the teriyaki ground beef mixture and steamed vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze portions and reheat in the microwave.
  • Store vegetables separately to keep them crisp and add just before serving.
