Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple chunks
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Rice – Cook your rice according to the package instructions if you haven’t already. You will need about two cups of cooked rice to provide a solid base for the four meal prep containers.
- Step 2: Brown the Beef – In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break the meat into small crumbles and cook until it is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Step 3: Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables – Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened and the garlic is fragrant.
- Step 4: Add Pineapple and Sauce – Stir in the pineapple chunks and the teriyaki sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the beef and vegetables in a glossy glaze.
- Step 5: Assemble the Bowls – Line up four meal prep containers. Divide the cooked rice evenly among the containers. Top the rice with the teriyaki beef and pineapple mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
