Korean Inspired Beef Bowls

Korean inspired beef bowls are a great weeknight meal: filled with delicious vegetables and covered in a sticky sweet and salty sauce, this meal is a crowd pleaser.

You will need:

• Ground beef

• Broccoli slaw*

• Onion

• Garlic

• Soy sauce

• Sesame oil

• Brown sugar

• Red pepper flakes

• Ground ginger

• Rice

• Eggs

• Scallions

• Basil

• Peanuts

• Cornstarch

• Gochujang

*You can use anything you like- chopped cabbage, sliced eggplant, diced carrots- all of that would be delicious. Adjust your cooking time according to how hard your vegetables are.

1. Cook the rice to package instructions. Set aside.

2. Add 2 teaspoons of sesame oil and 1 diced onion to pan. Saute until onion is translucent.

3. Add chopped garlic (I am always heavy on the garlic- 3-4 cloves- but add as much as you like), broccoli slaw, gochujang, and ground beef to pan. Cook until ground beef is no longer pink.

4. In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 3 teaspoons ground ginger, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Pour over meat mixture. Let simmer in pan until the sauce become sticky.

5. Serve meat over rice. Top with scallions, basil, and peanuts. I like to add a runny fried egg to mine for extra creaminess, and of course some sriracha for more heat.

Enjoy!
