Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (use 0.5 pounds for smaller portions)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (opt for low-sodium if desired)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.
- Once browned, drain any excess fat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the beef.

Notes
Swap beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter take. Serve it with steamed veggies or a salad to round out your meal.
