Ingredients

For the Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper adjust to taste

For the Beef and Assembly:

  • 1 pound (450 g) ground beef, lean
  • 3 cups (600 g) cooked white or brown rice that’s 1 cup (180g) uncooked rice
  • 1 large carrot shredded
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • Sesame seeds and chopped peanuts optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and crushed red pepper. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once the beef is fully browned, drain off any excess fat if needed.
  • Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring well to ensure the beef is coated. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and beef is fully flavored.
  • To serve, scoop rice into each serving bowl. Top with the Korean beef mixture. Garnish with shredded carrot, sliced green onions, sliced cucumber, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
