Instructions
 

Steps

  • First off, gather all your ingredients and ensure everything is measured and ready to go. This will make your cooking process smoother and quicker. Begin by mincing your garlic and grating the fresh ginger. If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes and adjust according to your taste.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook it until it is browned and cooked through. As the beef cooks, use a wooden spoon to break it up into crumbles. Ensure there's no pink left, and drain any excess fat from the skillet to avoid a greasy end product.
  • Once the beef is thoroughly cooked, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir these in well until they are fragrant, which should take about a minute. Next, pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Mix everything together until the beef is evenly coated with the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Let the beef simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully together. Stir in the red pepper flakes, adjusting the amount to your heat preference. Finally, add the sliced green onions and give one last stir, letting them soften slightly.
  • To serve, place a generous scoop of steamed white rice in a bowl. Top with the Korean beef mixture and sprinkle some sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. This is not only visually appealing but adds that extra crunch. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
