Ingredients

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 Cup Low-Sodium Beef Broth
  • 3/4 Cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 1 Tbsp Sriracha
  • 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 Tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, finely minced

Other:

  • 1 1/2 Lbs Ground Beef
  • To Serve (optional): Cooked white rice, sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onion

Instructions

  • If you’re going to serve the Korean Beef over rice, start the rice before beginning with the beef. Cook the rice according to directions and keep warm.
  • To begin the beef bowls, combine all sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk really well to combine and then set aside.
  • Add the ground beef to a large skillet over high heat. Break up the beef as it cooks and cook until the beef is fully cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Give the sauce ingredients one last whisk and then add to the skillet with the beef. Lower the heat to medium. Let the beef simmer in the sauce for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly. Stir occasionally.
  • When the beef is ready, remove from heat. To serve: place a serving of rice into each bowl. Spoon some of the Korean beef and sauce over the rice and then top with the sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced green onions. If you’re feeling a little spicy, add another squeeze of sriracha over the top. Enjoy!
