- Make the hot honey: honey, red pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir 1 minute until fragrant. Remove immediately.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, break apart. Cook 7–8 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add minced garlic and soy sauce to the beef. Cook 1 minute. Pour two-thirds of the hot honey over the meat, toss to coat. Remove from heat.
- Slice cucumber into thin rounds. Slice green onions on the diagonal.
- Divide rice between four bowls. Spoon hot honey beef over rice. Add cottage cheese to one side — do not stir. Arrange cucumber, scatter green onions and sesame seeds, drizzle remaining hot honey over the cottage cheese.
FAQ
Yes, ground chicken or diced breast both work. Chicken is milder so the hot honey comes through more — reduce honey by 1–2 tsp. Cooking time drops to 6–8 minutes.

Rest the beef for at least 5 minutes after cooking hot honey cottage cheese beef bowl. Cutting immediately lets all those precious juices run onto the board. A loose foil tent keeps it warm without steaming the crust.
