Easy Korean Beef Bowl

The AllRecipes contributor who came up with this recipe said: "This delicious Korean beef bowl is quick and easy to make with ground beef. It's seasoned with fresh ginger, garlic, soy, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper, but these ingredients can easily be adjusted to suit your taste. Serve over warm rice or spiralized vegetables."

Even though the ingredient list is a bit too long for my taste, with a prep time of 10 minutes and with only 15 minutes to cook, I can't resist this simple and easy recipe and I believe you won't either!

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 5 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• ½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

• 4 cups hot cooked brown rice

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, stirring and crumbling into small pieces until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
3. Stir in garlic, ginger, and sesame oil and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
4. Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper. Cook until beef absorbs some sauce, about 7 minutes.
