Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ¼ cup white onion chopped
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 stalks scallions chopped
- 2 cups sesame broccoli or plain steamed broccoli
- kimchi to serve on the side, optional
- sesame seeds for garnish
- steamed rice
Sauce Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar packed tightly
- 2 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- ½ Tablespoon Korean red pepper flakes optional for spice
- ½ Tablespoon gochujang - Korean red pepper paste optional for spice
Instructions
- Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Add the oil and ground beef to a hot pan and break it apart into small pieces while cooking the beef. When the beef is almost cooked through add in the chopped onions and the sauce. Continue to stir fry the beef with the sauce until it's completely cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and mix in the chopped scallions.
- Serve the Korean beef over steamed rice with sesame broccoli and kimchi. Garnish with sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Gochujang is a sweet and spicy Korean red pepper paste so if you plan to add more than 1 Tablespoon of gochujang, reduce the brown sugar by a third.
- For meal prep: divide the Korean beef and rice into individual containers.
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. This reheats well in the microwave.
