Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- ½ cup brown sugar sugar packed
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 cups white rice for serving
- 2 tsp sesame seeds for garnish - if desired
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat, cooking until no pink remains. Be sure to change out your spatula midway through to avoid cross-contamination.
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes, and pepper.
- Once the ground beef is cooked, pour the sauce mixture into the pan, stir and simmer for 1-2 minutes before serving over a bed of white rice.
- If you want a thicker sauce, combine cornstarch & water in a small bowl and then stir into beef. Simmer for 1 more minute to thicken. Sauce will also thicken as it cools.
