Sweet Sticky Korean Fried Beef

High-protein meal prep recipe with tender beef in a sweet, sticky Korean-style glaze.

Ingredients

Beef

• 600g lean beef mince (raw weight)
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• Black pepper to taste
• 30ml light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil

Sauce

• 20g light butter
• 1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 70ml light soy sauce
• 20g honey
• 2 spring onions, sliced (for garnish)

To serve

• 200g uncooked rice (yields approximately 630g cooked rice)

Method

1. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the beef mince with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, 30ml soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
3. Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Add the seasoned beef and cook for about 10 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and sizzling.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, sriracha, 70ml soy sauce, and honey to the pan with the beef.
5. Stir everything together and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and become sticky and glossy.
6. The sauce should coat the beef nicely. If too thin, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
7. Remove from heat and stir through most of the sliced spring onions, reserving some for garnish.
8. Divide the cooked rice equally among 5 meal prep containers (approximately 125g cooked rice per serving).
9. Top each portion of rice with an equal amount of the beef mixture.
10. Garnish with remaining spring onions.
