Let’s Get Cooking!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep Your Veggies: Start by chopping the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. You’ll want them ready to go since this dish cooks quickly!
Soften the Aromatics: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and toss in the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the onion is translucent, then throw in the minced garlic. Sauté it for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, trust me, your kitchen will smell heavenly!
Brown the Beef: Now it’s time for the star of the show! Add the beef mince to the hot pan, cook, stirring frequently, until browned and any liquid has evaporated. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to scrape the yummy bits off the bottom for added flavor.
Mix Up the Sauce: While your beef is browning, grab a small bowl and whisk together dark soy sauce, sriracha, tomato puree, honey, and a splash of water. You want it to be well combined and smooth.
Add the Sauce: Pour that glorious sauce into the pan with the beef mixture, and bring it to a simmer. This might take a minute, but trust me, it’s worth it! Cook it until the sauce thickens, which should be about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the Rice: Now that everything’s thick and saucy, toss in your cooked rice. Stir until it’s evenly coated and heated through 2-3 minutes should do it. Let all those flavors meld together in a beautiful, delicious dance!
Garnish to Perfection: Finally, serve it up hot and sprinkle with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds for that extra flair!
