Asian Beef Bowl

Rice bowls are perfect for weeknight meals. You can layer up lots of flavor with ingredients you likely have on hand to make a hearty and tasty dinner. These Asian Beef Bowls pack a real flavor punch with the runny egg and Sriracha. And it really is a quick dinner to put together.

You might be wondering why the carrots don’t get cooked at all. It is all about texture. The rice, beef and egg all have a predominately soft texture. So the raw carrots give the much needed crunch. However, since you are using shredded carrots it is not a huge amount of crunch. If you wanted it to be more you could go with matchstick carrots instead of the shredded.

Whenever I serve eggs on a dish like this, I make them over medium. Which means cooked on both sides, all of the white set but the yolk still runny. If you do not like to have runny eggs, you could cook them longer, but it will change the way the flavors mingle together. You could also go for a sunny side up egg, I just can never get them cooked through on the top before the yolk is to far cooked, so I do the quick flip. It’s a preference thing really.

I used ground beef for this recipe, but you could actually use any kind of ground meat (turkey, chicken, pork). You could also use chicken breast or even steak. You would just want to cut up the meat into 1/2 to 1 inch chunks and cook a few minutes longer before adding the sauce.
