Steps

• Gather all your ingredients to start. Mince the garlic and ginger, chop the green onions, and julienne the carrot. It's crucial to have everything prepped and ready, as the cooking process is fast-paced.
• Place a skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Once heated, add the ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned. This typically takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
• Reduce the heat slightly and stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and optional red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the beef to soak up the flavors of the sauce.
• Add the chopped green onions and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir them into the beef mixture and cook for an extra 2 minutes, just enough to soften the vegetables while still retaining a bit of crunch.
• To serve, scoop cooked rice into bowls and top with a generous portion of the beef mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired. Enjoy the blend of textures and flavors in every bite.
