Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the ground beef in the skillet. Stir well to coat the beef.

  6. Serve the spicy Korean beef mixture over cooked rice.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
  • Add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and nutrients.
