Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for flavor)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

ΒΌ cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons rice vinegar

1 teaspoon gochujang (Korean chili paste, adjust for spice preference)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (plus more for garnish)

1 cup cooked jasmine rice (or your favorite rice)

1 cup steamed broccoli (or any preferred vegetable)

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. When hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

      Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and gochujang. Pour this mixture over the cooked beef and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, so the beef absorbs all the flavors.

        Serve Over Rice: To assemble the bowls, place a generous scoop of cooked jasmine rice at the bottom of each serving bowl. Top with the saucy ground beef mixture.

          Garnish: Add steamed broccoli or your choice of vegetables on the side. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for extra crunch.

            Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy the savory, sweet, and slightly spicy flavors of this delicious Korean Ground Beef Bowl!
