Ingredients
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 medium green pepper finely chopped
- 2 celery sticks finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp Korean chili paste (gochujang)
- 4 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp prepared mustard
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cider vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4-8 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Chop the onion, green pepper, celery, and garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the vegetables - onion, green pepper and celery. Saute them until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cook 1 more minute.
- Slide the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Drizzle the remaining oil onto the skillet and add the ground beef. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top and let the beef sizzle for 1 minute. Stir the beef to brown thoroughly. When the beef is cooked mix with vegetables.
- Add tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar and cider vinegar. Stir well and bring to gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the whole thing simmer for 20-25 minutes, uncovered.
- The sauce will thicken as it simmers but should be moist without being dry. Adjust the heat accordingly.
- Serve these mouth-watering Sloppy Joes over hamburger buns and savor the East-meets-West version of an all-American classic every single bite. Enjoy!
