Description
A flavorful and high-protein Korean beef dish made with lean ground beef, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Perfect for a quick, nutritious meal packed with authentic Korean flavors.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef (at least 90% lean)
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked beef and stir to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef.
Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
