Discover the delicious and healthy Korean Ground Beef Bowl, an easy-to-make Asian rice bowl perfect for quick dinners or lunches. Packed with savory flavors, this ground beef dish is ideal for meal prep and versatile enough to customize with your favorite toppings and vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably lean)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
  • Cooked white rice or brown rice

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped onion; cook until fragrant and translucent. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Mix well to coat all the beef with the sauce.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes to meld flavors. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
  4. Serve the beef mixture over hot cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Optional extras include pickled vegetables or a soft-boiled egg.
