These Teriyaki Beef Bowls are a go-to weeknight dinner. Quick, easy, and full of flavor. Juicy ground beef, crisp veggies, and a rich, savoury teriyaki glaze come together in under 30 minutes. Serve it over rice or make it a lettuce wrap for a meal that hits every time.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef

1 cup bell pepper, julienned (any colour)

1 cup cabbage, julienned (I used both green and purple)

1 cup carrots, julienned

1/2 cup onion, julienned

1 tbsp garlic, minced

Teriyaki glaze: 

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or use my homemade version)

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp chili crisp (optional, highly recommended)

1 tbsp sesame oil

1/4 cup of water or stock - if too dry

Cooked rice, for serving

Optional: sesame seeds and green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon. Leave it alone to crisp up and fully cooked, about 5–6 minutes. 
  2. Add the garlic and onions: Add the minced garlic and the onions, saute for 2 minutes.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: Add the bell pepper, carrots and cabbage to the pan. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the veggies are slightly tender but still crisp.
  4. Add the sauce: Pour in the teriyaki sauce, chili crisp, honey, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine and let everything simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the beef and veggies. Pro tip: If it's too dry, add ¼ cup of water or stock.
  5. Serve: Spoon the teriyaki beef mixture over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and chili oil if desired.

Equipment

Notes

  • You can double the sauce if you prefer your bowls extra saucy. This recipe is also great for meal prep - just store in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
  • Don’t overcook the veggies – Keep them crisp-tender for the best texture and color.
  • Use any vegetables - this is a great “clear the fridge” recipe!
  • Double the sauce - If you love saucy bowls or plan to meal prep, make extra for drizzling!
