Looking for a quick to fix and delicious dinner? After returning from a weekend trip to Atlanta, GA I was excited to get back to my kitchen and start cooking; there is no better way to spark culinary enthusiasm than a visit to a great food city. We had lunch at Ponce City Market, an incubator for new entrepreneurs and a venue for seasoned chefs. Holeman and Finch one of my long time favorites in Atlanta now has a burger bar in the market and they are hard to pass up, delicious patties and the most marvelous homemade ketchup. We also had to try pork buns, fresh jerky, homemade bitters and the list could go on and on. There were several spots serving rice bowls and that inspired me to put together this recipe. Ginger marinated beef along with tomatoes, green pepper, onions, and mushrooms. I tossed it all with a sriracha tomato sauce that is perfect over rice. A quick, easy and delicious meal in under 30 minutes.
