Ingredients
For the Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang
- 1 teaspoon Gochugaru
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Everything Else
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 2 green onions sliced, whites and dark green separated
- 4 cups cooked rice
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the sesame oil, gochujang, gochugaru, brown sugar, soy sauce, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
- Brown the ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. After 3 minutes, add the diced light parts of the green onions to the pan. Saute for 2 minutes, or until the green onions have softened and then add the sauce to the skillet.
- Mix until the ground beef is well coated by the sauce and allow it to cook down until it has thickened (about 3 to 5 minutes).
- Finish off the ground beef by garnishing with green onion and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with rice and your sides of choice.

Notes
- Feel free to add what you want to your beef bowls! I personally have some seasoned spinach, spicy cucumbers, kimchi, and fried or poached eggs. Sometimes I make my gochujang mushrooms for this!
