Notes

If serving over rice, start the rice when you start the beef, as the meat does not take long at all.
If you're not using lean meat, you may want to drain the grease after browning.
You can sub red pepper flakes or chili sauce or your favorite hot sauce for the Sriracha or leave out for milder flavor.
