Freezer Korean Beef Bowl


  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Description

A flavorful and easy-to-make Korean beef bowl that can be prepared in advance and frozen for quick meals. This dish features tender ground beef cooked with a savory and sweet sauce, served over steamed rice with fresh vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water
3 cups cooked white rice
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds


Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the beef and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and water.
Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked beef and stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the beef mixture for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef cool to room temperature.
Divide the cooked rice evenly into four freezer-safe containers.
Top each container of rice with the Korean beef mixture, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over each bowl.
Seal the containers tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, thaw the frozen bowl overnight in the refrigerator and microwave until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
