Korean Beef Bowl
Quick and easy Korean Beef Bowl recipe for a tasty weeknight meal!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp ginger grated or minced
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- vegetable oil for cooking
- salt to taste
- 4 cups rice cooked
Garnish
- green onions
- toasted sesame seeds
- soft boiled egg
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Let them sizzle for a minute until the heavenly aroma fills the air.
- Add the onions and cook until softened. Move onions to one side of the skillet to make room for the beef.
- Gently place the ground beef into the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Sauté the beef until it's browned and cooked through, usually about 5-7 minutes.
- When the beef is cooked, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, and chili flakes, stirring until the beef is coated evenly. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- While the beef soaks up all the luscious flavors, cook your rice.
- Scoop a generous amount of rice into each bowl, and then ladle the beef mixture on top.
- Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a soft boiled egg for a refreshing finish.
