A delicious and easy-to-make Korean Ground Beef Bowl recipe that combines savory flavors with tender beef and rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 blend for flavor)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5–7 minutes).
- Add Aromatics: Drain excess fat if necessary, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

- Serve: In bowls, serve the cooked rice topped with the savory ground beef mixture.
