Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
  2. Cook the beef while breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and fully cooked.
  3. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  4. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook briefly until fragrant.
  5. Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Mix well so the beef becomes evenly coated with the sauce.
  7. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  8. Prepare serving bowls with warm cooked rice.
  9. Spoon the Korean-style beef mixture over the rice.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Add steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
  • Top the bowl with a fried egg for added richness.
  • Reduce brown sugar if you prefer a less sweet sauce.
  • Thinly sliced beef such as flank steak can replace ground beef.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
