Easy Korean Beef Rice Bowls

My easy Korean beef rice bowls are ready in 30 minutes, and who wouldn't want this for dinner?  It's full of spicy, umami flavor, but tone down the heat and kids will devour it.

Servings

Instructions

  1. Heat a little oil in the bottom of a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion starts to soften. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with the edge of a spatula while it cooks. You want the meat to be as finely broken up as possible, so keep at it.
  2. Whisk together the sauce ingredients, and add to the pan, stirring to combine. Let simmer for a few minutes. Add the green beans and cook for a minute more.
  3. Divide the hot rice between four bowls, and then top with the beef. Garnish with the sesame seeds, chili oil, and fried eggs, if desired. Serve with sriracha sauce.

Notes

  • Ground pork, chicken, or turkey will work as well as beef.
  • This recipe will work wonderfully with a plant based ground meat product.
  • Use noodles instead of rice.
  • Put the meat mixture in lettuce cups for a super low carb option.
  • If you don't have dark soy sauce, use a little bit of Kitchen Bouquet or other gravy browning sauce to deepen the color of your sauce.
