Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 300g 5% fat beef mince
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 20ml dark soy sauce
  • 15ml sriracha
  • 10g tomato puree
  • 20g honey
  • 250g cooked rice

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced spring onion
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables: Chop the onion, bell pepper, and garlic finely to prepare your fresh ingredients for sautéing.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chopped onion and bell pepper for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant and aromatic.
  3. Cook the beef: Add the lean beef mince to the pan with the vegetables. Stir continuously to break up the meat and cook until all moisture evaporates and the beef is nicely browned for a crispy texture.
  4. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the dark soy sauce, sriracha, tomato puree, honey, and a splash of water. Stir well to blend all the flavors into a smooth sauce.
  5. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the cooked beef and vegetables. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef evenly.
  6. Combine with rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan and mix thoroughly to ensure every grain is coated with the flavorful sauce. Heat everything through evenly.
  7. Serve: Transfer the chilli beef rice to serving bowls and garnish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds for a fresh, crunchy finish.

Notes

  • Use lean beef mince to reduce excess fat and achieve a crispy texture.
  • Cooked rice works best if it’s a day old and chilled as it prevents clumping.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute dark soy sauce with tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
  • This dish reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
