Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to make the sauce. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked beef. Stir well to coat the meat completely.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Divide the cooked rice among four bowls.
- Spoon the sauced beef mixture over the rice in each bowl.
- Garnish each serving with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak for ground beef; marinate the sliced beef in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- For a healthier option, use low-sodium soy sauce.
- Serve with kimchi or quick-pickled cucumbers on the side.
