Ingredients

  • 200g freekeh
  • 300g lean beef, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for cooking)
  • 200g bok choy
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking freekeh according to package instructions, typically simmering in water for approximately 25-30 minutes.
  2. While the freekeh cooks, slice the beef into bite-sized strips.
  3. In a bowl, mix together minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and a touch of honey to create the glaze.
  4. In a hot skillet, add a tablespoon of oil and brown the beef strips for about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Once browned, pour the ginger-garlic glaze over the beef, stirring to coat evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. In another pan, sauté the bok choy in a teaspoon of oil until tender but still vibrant green, around 2-3 minutes.
  7. Assemble the bowl by placing a scoop of cooked freekeh, topped with the ginger-garlic beef and sautéed bok choy.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
