Macro-friendly Beef & Broccoli Rice Bowl

I’ve learned that what I eat matters just as much as how I train. I need meals that fuel recovery, keep me strong, and still taste amazing. This Ginger Beef & Broccoli Bowl checks every box—lean protein from steak, nutrient-packed broccoli, and a flavorful ginger sauce over jasmine rice. It’s simple, satisfying, and keeps me performing at my best.

Ingredients (2 servings): Ginger Beef & Broccoli Bowl

• 1 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)

• 10 oz steak (sirloin, flank, or ribeye — thinly sliced against the grain)

• 2 cups broccoli florets

• 2 green onions, sliced (reserve some for garnish)

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (toasted if possible)

• 1 tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil)

Ginger Sauce

• 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

• 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or mirin)

• 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)

• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (can add more for stronger flavor)

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp water

• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

• Pinch red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

1. Cook the rice:

   • Rinse jasmine rice until water runs clear. Cook according to package directions. Fluff and keep warm.

2. Make the sauce:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, water, and cornstarch (if using). Set aside.

3. Cook the broccoli:

   • Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high. Add broccoli and a splash of water, cover, and steam-sauté 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.

4. Cook the steak:

   • Heat the remaining sesame oil in the same pan. Add sliced steak and sear 1–2 minutes per side until browned but still tender.

5. Combine with sauce:

   • Stir in the sauce and green onions with the beef. Cook 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the steak. Add broccoli back in and toss well.

6. Assemble bowls:

   • Divide jasmine rice between two bowls. Top with ginger beef and broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds and extra green onion.
