Korean Ground Beef
Description
This Korean Ground Beef recipe creates a richly flavored dish by combining a balanced sauce made from soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, gochujang sauce, onion powder, and black pepper. The gochujang adds a mild spicy and slightly sweet depth without overwhelming heat.
The ground beef is browned first, then the sauce is poured over and cooked down briefly until only a small amount remains, coating the beef with a glossy, flavorful finish. The dish is designed for quick cooking and concentrated flavor.
This beef mixture pairs well with steamed rice or noodles and can be served alongside vegetables for a complete meal. Adjustments to gochujang amount allow control of spiciness.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce reduced-sodium
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons beef broth reduced-sodium
- 1 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated fresh
- 2 teaspoons gochujang sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 pound ground beef lean
Instructions
- Stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, grated ginger, Gochujang sauce, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Set aside.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet.
- Drain any fat and return to the pan.
- Pour sauce over browned ground beef, and stir in.
- Cook until the sauce has cooked down and only about 1/4 cup of sauce remains, about 1-3 minutes.
Notes
- Ground pork or ground turkey may be substituted for ground beef.
- Reduced-sodium soy sauce is recommended to better control sodium content; regular soy sauce can be used as preferred.
- Adjust gochujang sauce quantity to achieve desired heat; be sure to use sauce, not paste, to avoid excessive spiciness.
