Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste), optional
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water or beef broth
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Steamed or sautéed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, spinach), for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang (if using), rice vinegar, and water or beef broth.
  5. Pour the sauce over the cooked beef. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  6. Serve the Korean ground beef hot over cooked rice.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
  8. Serve with your favorite steamed or sautéed vegetables on the side.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred spice level.
  • For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of water in the sauce.
  • You can prepare the rice and vegetables while the beef cooks to save time.
