This dish is one of my go to meals when I need something delicious on the table in a hurry. It has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors that everyone in the family seems to love.

I like to serve this over a big bowl of steamed white rice. If you have some extra time, a simple cucumber and avocado salad on the side makes the meal feel really fresh and balanced.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until it is browned all the way through, breaking it up with a spoon as you go.

  3. 3

    Drain off any excess grease from the pan.

  4. 4

    Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the beef and cook for one minute until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.

  6. 6

    Let the mixture simmer for two or three minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and coats the meat well.

  7. 7

    Serve warm over rice and garnish with the sliced green onions.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also toss in some shredded carrots or snap peas while the beef cooks if you want to add more vegetables to the mix.
