Stir-Fried Hoisin Beef Bowl

This Stir-Fried Hoisin Beef Bowl is packed with flavor and can be ready in 30 minutes or less. Beef mixed with diced mushrooms, red onions, and spices are sautéed in a sweet and savory sauce.

Meaty, umami packed mixture of lean ground beef, finely diced mushrooms, pungent red onion and mild Asian aromatics sautéed in a sweet, savory honey and hoisin sauce. Served atop a bed of fluffy jasmine rice, then garnished with creamy sliced avocados, crisp carrots, sliced scallions, fresh microgreens and nutty sesame seeds, these bowls are packed full of flavor.

The recipe for these honey hoisin beef bowls utilize ground beef. While you can use any type of ground beef, I personally used ground sirloin since it is one of the leanest types of ground beef. While ground round beef, also referred to as extra-lean ground beef, is a leaner cut, it lacks the beefy flavor ground sirloin delivers. If you use regular ground beef or ground chuck, which have a higher fat content, you may need to wipe the excess fat from the pan after browning the beef, and before adding the mushrooms in step 2 of the recipe.

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

Hoisin sauce:

• 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup (about 50 g) mushrooms (button or baby bella), finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 lb (454 g) ground beef (ground sirloin recommended)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Bowls:

• 4 cups (about 740 g) cooked long-grain rice (jasmine or basmati)

Toppings:

Instructions

1. Make the sauce: whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until starting to soften.
3. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking up the meat, until almost browned, about 4 minutes. If using regular ground beef or chuck, drain excess fat from the pan before continuing.
4. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes more.
5. Add the garlic and ginger; season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until aromatic, about 1 minute.
6. Pour the sauce over the beef mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until everything is coated and the beef is cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning.
7. Divide the rice among serving bowls. Spoon the hoisin beef over the rice.
8. Top with carrot matchsticks, avocado, microgreens, scallions, sesame seeds, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ground sirloin gives the best balance of flavour and leanness here. If you use regular ground beef, drain off any excess fat after browning and before adding the mushrooms. For a richer result, marinate the beef in a small amount of the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
