Korean Ground Beef
Description
This recipe begins by browning lean ground beef with sesame oil, garlic, and fresh minced ginger. After draining most of the fat, a sauce of brown sugar, soy sauce, and sriracha is added and cooked until it is absorbed, resulting in glossy, flavorful meat. Green onions are stirred in at the end.
The accompanying wilted slaw is made by sautéing Napa cabbage, grated carrots, and diced green onions in sesame and canola oils until moisture evaporates, providing a tender yet crisp vegetable component to the dish. This adds freshness and a slight nuttiness that pairs well with the rich beef.
The recipe offers a satisfying main course that combines protein with lightly cooked vegetables, suitable for serving over rice or enjoying on its own.
Using the same skillet for both beef and slaw minimizes cleanup and allows residual flavors to blend.
