Korean-Style Ground Beef Bowl

A quick and comforting Korean-style ground beef bowl with savory-sweet flavors, served over rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  3. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spoon the beef over cooked rice and top with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or chicken. Swap light soy sauce for low-sodium if you’re watching salt.
