A quick and delicious Korean-inspired beef bowl made with sweet-savory soy glaze, served over rice and topped with fresh veggies or a fried egg.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef (85/15 or lean)

  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (optional)

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

  • ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari)

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice

  • Toppings: shredded carrots, cucumber, kimchi, fried egg, sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and ground beef. Cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned — about 6–7 minutes.

  • Drain excess fat if needed. Add garlic and ginger. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

  • In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.

  • Pour sauce over beef and stir to coat. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  • Stir in green onions or save for garnish.

  • Serve over rice with desired toppings.

Notes

Swap ground beef with turkey or tofu as needed. For a gluten-free version, use tamari or coconut aminos. Add extra veggies for a more complete bowl.
