Learn how to make delicious ground beef korean bowl. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

If you’re missing something, don’t worry! You can swap sesame oil for olive oil or even use ground turkey instead of beef. The key is to work with what you have and keep the flavors balanced.
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the brown sugar, soy sauce, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the sliced green onions and sesame seeds, stirring to combine.
- Serve the beef mixture over cooked rice and garnish with steamed broccoli or shredded carrots if desired. Enjoy!
This recipe is forgiving and encourages creativity, much like those Wednesday dinners where improvisation was key. Feel free to tweak the spice level or add your favorite vegetables to make it your own.
