Description

A delicious, one-pot Korean Ground Beef Bowl that comes together in about 30 minutes for a quick weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ½ tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, draining excess grease and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir well, then pour over beef and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  4. Serve warm rice in bowls, topping with the Korean beef mixture and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, carrots, cucumbers, and steamed broccoli.

Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
