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.

Instructions
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
- Stir-fry: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until starting to soften. Add in the beef, and season generously with salt and pepper. Sauté until almost browned, breaking it up as you go, about 4 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and continue to stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add in the ginger and garlic and season again with salt and pepper.* Cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add in the sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until everything is coated and the beef is cooked through. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the bowls: Add rice to the bottom of serving bowls and top with beef. Garnish with desired toppings and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
-This recipe utilizes ground beef, and while you can use any ground beef you would like, I used lean ground sirloin. If you use regular ground beef or ground chuck, you may need to wipe the excess fat from the pan after browning the beef and before adding in the mushrooms. Use your best judgement!
-The recipe calls for finely chopped mushrooms, and I highly recommend using white button or cremini (baby bella) mushrooms. Make sure you do NOT soak the mushrooms to clean them. Instead, use a damp paper towel to wipe any dirt from the mushroom, or give them a very quick, light rinse with cool water and pat dry.
-Make sure you season the stir-fry with salt and pepper in layers, as you cook – i.e. season the onions, season the beef, season the ginger/garlic, season the sauce. Adding salt and pepper in layers will ensure the dish as an entirety is seasoned properly!
