Korean-Style Ground Beef Bowl

A quick and savory Korean-inspired ground beef bowl topped with a soft scrambled egg, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger, grated or finely minced
  • 2 Green onions, thinly sliced (reserve some for garnish)
  • 1 cup Vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots), chopped small
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 cups Rice, cooked (white, brown, or your preference)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté just until fragrant, about 30–60 seconds.
  3. Crumble in the ground beef and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned and any liquid has evaporated. Break up any large pieces as it cooks.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce. Season lightly with salt and pepper and let the mixture bubble for a minute so the flavors meld. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet and cook until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite, about 3–4 minutes.
  6. In a separate nonstick pan over medium-low heat, scramble the egg gently until just set. Season with a pinch of salt.
  7. Spoon the cooked rice into bowls. Top each bowl with the beef and vegetable mixture, then add the scrambled egg. Finish with the thinly sliced green onions for brightness.

Notes

For a lighter option, swap turkey or use a plant-based ground. Toasted sesame oil enhances aroma; a neutral oil can be used instead.
