Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 /4 cup brown sugar (add more if you like it sweeter)
- 1/4 /4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (use coconut aminos or gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free option)
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil (see note)
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon fresh ginger minced (see note)
- 1/2 - 1 /2 - 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper depending on how spicy you like it
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 /2 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet brown beef over medium high heat. Add the garlic towards the end of browning and cook for a couple of minutes. Drain the fat.
- Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt and pepper and red pepper. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Serve over steamed rice and top with green onions. If going for a low carb option, it's great over lettuce too!

Notes
- If you're like me and don't use fresh ginger that often, remember that fresh ginger freezes well. They also sell ginger in a squeeze bottle by the produce and it lasts forever.
- Sesame oil adds a special something to this dish but it can be pricey so you can use another oil.
- Note: I recently changed this recipe to add the sesame oil at the end instead of browning it in the beginning.
