We’ve always been a more traditional “meat and potatoes” type of family but sometimes we crave something a little different. One of our customers introduced me to beef bulgogi recently (another Korean recipe) after he made it with meat he got from us and after I tried it, I was hooked! Then it sent me down a rabbit hole of looking for more ways to incorporate those types of flavors into our cooking.
These ground beef bowls are so easy to make and use ingredients you probably already have on hand. Our dry aged ground beef really gives this recipe next level flavor too.
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup soy sauce
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (feel free to add more if you want more heat!)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
For serving:
-
Hot cooked rice or noodles
-
Chopped green onions
-
Sesame seeds
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Sauce + Cook the Beef
-
Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, ground ginger, red pepper flakes and sesame oil in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly to blend together. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then add the ground beef and break it up into crumbles, cooking it until browned and almost fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
-
Pour the sauce over the beef and turn down the heat so it just comes to a simmer. Cook until heated through. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Garnish and Serve
Scoop hot rice/noodles into bowls and spoon beef on top. Sprinkle on chopped green onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!
