Healthy Beef Bowl for a GLP-1 High Protein Diet

Koren Ground Beef and Rice Bowl

Looking for a great-tasting meal that fits your GLP-1 high protein diet needs? Try this recipe!

Honesty time.  I’ve never made this.  But I’ve had it for dinner, and it tasted great! The person who recommended it is familiar with my limited cooking abilities and would not suggest it unless it’s easy to make.  I plan to make it soon, simply for the protein. 25 grams is the perfect amount for a meal.  Factor in that it only has 238 calories, and it’s a win.  Add a vegetable as a side, and it has the makings of a good dinner. 

While the ingredient list is a little long and has a few items I don’t normally use, as a barely adequate cook, I think it’s doable.  I don’t think the cooking instructions are intimidating at all either.  Anyone should be able to make this!

• 1 pound lean ground beef 90% lean
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups hot cooked white or brown rice
• sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and garlic, breaking it into crumbles over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain the grease.

In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Pour over the ground beef and let simmer for another minute or two.

Serve over hot rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
