Equipment
Method
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then return the cooked beef to the pan.
- Add the minced garlic to the beef and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked beef and stir well to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef evenly.
- Stir in the chopped green onions, reserving some for garnish, and remove the skillet from heat.
- Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls and top with the Korean ground beef mixture.
- Optionally, add steamed vegetables to the bowls for extra nutrition.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and additional green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
