Korean Beef

This is a quick, easy dinner. I put rice in the rice cooker and can have everything done by the time it is done. And everyone eats it, double bonus! Throw some fruit and veggies on the side and there's dinner!

Korean Beef:

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh, grated ginger (or can use 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)
1/2 – 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers (depending on how spicy you like it)
salt and pepper
1 bunch green onions, diced
Cooked rice

Directions:Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown hamburger with garlic in the sesame oil. Drain any fat and add brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper and red peppers. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Serve over steamed rice and top with green onions.

  1. Yum, I've tried a similar recipe with really thinly sliced beef, but that's harder to get than ground beef.

  3. Just made it - yum! I thought I had sesame oil, but when I went to get it, the bottle I was thinking of was Sweet Cooking Rice Wine, so I went ahead and used it instead of the sesame oil and it worked just fine. I used low sodium soy sauce (575mg sodium/Tbsp) and turned out good.

  4. I just saw a similar recipe on pinterest with 1/3 cup brown sugar. I might try that and see if I still like it with cutting down the sugar a bit. I make this a lot, it's tasty, easy, and affordable.

    1. I shred carrots, pickle persian cucumbers with vinegar, salt, sugar, and red pepper flakes, and fry an egg.
