Korean Beef
Description
The recipe starts by browning ground beef in a skillet, then draining excess grease. The sauce consists of soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and optionally crushed red pepper flakes for spice. Pouring this sauce over the beef and simmering allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly, coating the beef with a flavorful glaze. The meat remains tender and richly flavored without overpowering spice.
Served over cooked rice, this Korean Beef offers a satisfying main course with its combination of sweet, salty, and savory notes. Garnishing with green onions adds freshness and a mild onion bite, while toasted sesame seeds contribute a nutty crunch that enhances the overall dish.
Ingredients
- 1 Pound ground beef
- 1/4 Cup soy sauce

Instructions
- In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.

- Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked ground beef in the skillet. Stir well to coat the beef evenly.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to reduce.
