Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground beef
8–10 Brussels sprouts (halved)
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
2 scallions (sliced)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional)
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
2 tbsp chopped cilantro or scallions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prep veggies: Halve Brussels sprouts and slice red bell pepper. Sauté garlic and ginger in 1 tbsp olive oil until fragrant. Set aside 1 tbsp of the sautéed mix for later.
Roast sprouts: Toss Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and half the scallions. Roast at 400°F for 15 minutes until caramelized and crispy.
Cook ground beef: In the same pan, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Add the reserved garlic-ginger mixture.
Add glaze: Stir in sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and honey. Cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Combine: Toss roasted Brussels sprouts, red pepper, and scallions into the beef mixture. Serve over rice or quinoa if using.
Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Use gluten-free sweet chili sauce if dietary restrictions apply.
Substitute ground bison for a leaner protein option.
Glaze can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Add a squeeze of lime juice for extra brightness.
