Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Lean ground beef (90/10 preferred)
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup Brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 cups Cooked white or brown rice
  • 3 Green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your aromatics and sauce. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger finely. In a small glass bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, packed brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until the sugar mostly dissolves. Having this sauce ready before you turn on the stove ensures the garlic doesn’t burn during the fast cooking process.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is browned and crumbled, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small bits. Once browned, drain any excess grease from the pan. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes so the sauce thickens and coats the meat beautifully.
  3. Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Spoon a generous portion of the saucy beef over the rice. Garnish each bowl with plenty of sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
