For the Korean sauce
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic pressed

Instructions
- Prepare the Korean sauce by combining the soy sauce, brown sugar, fresh garlic, ginger, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Whisk until combined.

- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion over medium high heat, breaking the meat up with the spoon as it cooks, until no longer pink.
- Add the Korean sauce to the beef and bring to a simmer. Cook about 5 more minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Remove the Korean Beef from the heat and garnish with green onions. Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or as a lettuce wrap.
