Instructions

  1. Whisk together mayo, sriracha and water in a small jar. Taste and add more sriracha if needed for more spice.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, gochujang, garlic and ginger. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if needed.
  4. Add the prepared sauce to the cooked beef and stir to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and serve over 1 cup of steamed rice or cooked cauliflower rice. Add your veggies (about ¼ cup of each: carrot ribbons, cucumbers and cabbage) and 1-2 Tablespoons kimchi. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Drizzle a little spicy mayo over the whole bowl and if you like spicy, you can drizzle with more sriracha or gochujang.

Notes

  • Make it low-carb: Serve these beef bowls with cauliflower rice instead of white rice.
  • Storing: Store the beef, rice, veggies, and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days. This helps everything stay fresh and prevents the veggies from getting soggy.
  • Reheating: Warm the beef and rice in the microwave or a skillet until heated through, then assemble your bowl with the fresh toppings and drizzle of spicy mayo.
