Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8-10 cranks freshly-ground black pepper
- rice, cucumber, green onions, sesame seeds, shredded carrots, etc. for serving
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and garlic. Break up the meat into small crumbles and saute until mostly browned. Drain excess fat if desired.
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and red and black pepper. Stir this mixture into the beef and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve hot over rice and with veggies or other garnishes on the side.
Notes
- Yield: This recipe yields 4 medium servings if paired with rice or another base and veggies. It doubles easily.
- Timing: If you’re making rice on the stovetop or Instant Pot to accompany this meal, be sure to start it first, because the beef comes together extremely quickly and you don’t want to be waiting on the rice at the end.
- Storage: Leftovers keep very well, tightly-covered in the fridge, for 3-4 days.
- Nutrition: Nutritional info is an estimate based on 1 pound of ground beef seasoned and divided among 4 equal servings; it does not include rice, veggies, or other sides.
