Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 blend for flavor)

Sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Aromatics:

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)

Additional:

  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5–7 minutes).
  2. Add Aromatics: Drain excess fat if necessary, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Add Vegetables: If using, add broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook until tender, about 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Prepare Rice: While the beef cooks, prep your rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
  6. Serve: In bowls, serve the cooked rice topped with the savory ground beef mixture.
  7. Garnish: Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added crunch and flavor boost.
