Heat a skillet over medium heat with 3 tbsp of olive oil.
Dice the pepper and onion and add them to the oil. Saute until soft, for 5-7 minutes.
Add in the ground beef with the soy sauce, honey, garlic powder and pinch of salt & pepper.
Cook on medium/high heat for about 10 minutes, until the beef has browned. Mix in the sesame oil towards the end and adjust salt as needed.
While the beef cooks, prepare the sauce. Add a tsp of sesame oil to a small pan or pot on medium heat and mix in the grated garlic and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add in the curry paste, soy sauce, sugar, coconut milk and lime juice. Bring to a boil and whisk well, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until thick.
Serve the ground beef over rice bowls with thinly sliced cucumbers, scallions, cilantro and the curry sauce poured over.
