30-Minute Korean Beef Stir Fry
Description
30-Minute Korean Beef Stir Fry features ground beef cooked with a sweet and savory marinade of soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Fresh vegetables including red bell pepper, carrot, broccoli, sugar snap peas, green onions, and jalapeno peppers are stir-fried separately until they soften and develop a slight browning. Combining the beef and vegetables with the marinade shortly before finishing melds the flavors while preserving some texture in the vegetables. This method delivers a balanced mix of tender meat and crisp-tender vegetables with bold Korean-inspired seasoning. The sesame oil adds a distinctive aroma, while the brown sugar provides a hint of sweetness.
The stir fry is best served hot over steamed white rice, which absorbs the flavorful sauce. This one-pan meal comes together quickly and offers a satisfying mix of textures and tastes that make it suitable for a weeknight dinner or meal prep.
