Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (80/20 mix)

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spiciness)

2 green onions, chopped (green parts only)

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup broccoli florets (steamed)

1 carrot, julienned

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

A drizzle of sriracha (optional, for extra heat)

Pickled vegetables (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, add the ground beef over medium-high heat. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks (about 6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.

    Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes.

      Combine: Pour the sauce over the cooked beef and stir well to combine. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened and the beef is well coated.

        Prepare the Rice: While the beef is simmering, prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.

          Assemble the Bowls: In bowls, add a generous scoop of cooked jasmine rice as the base. Top with the Korean ground beef mixture, steamed broccoli florets, and julienned carrots.

            Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top. For those who like a little heat, drizzle sriracha over the dish.

              Optional Extras: Serve with pickled vegetables on the side for an authentic Korean touch!
