Learn how to make delicious Korean Ground Beef Bowl: Quick and Delicious Weeknight Meal. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli or your choice of veggies

If you’re feeling adventurous, try substituting the ground beef with tofu for a vegetarian twist! And don’t forget, every dish should be an expression of your own tastes and preferences.

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your jasmine rice according to the package instructions. While the rice is cooking, you can move on to preparing the beef.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Once the beef is cooked, stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  5. Incorporate the steamed broccoli or any other veggies you prefer. This is an excellent way to sneak in some greens, making the dish both colorful and nutritious.
  6. To serve, place a generous scoop of rice into each bowl, top with the savory ground beef mixture, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

This dish is a perfect example of how a few simple ingredients can transform into something extraordinary, much like the meals I learned to make with my abuela. Remember, cooking is an art—don’t be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your preference!
