Korean Ground Beef Bowls
An easy recipe for very flavorful Korean ground beef. Served over white or cauliflower rice, it's a delicious and complete meal.
Ingredients
Sauce
- ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or a gluten-free alternative
- 1 tablespoon honey or a liquid sugar-free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Stir-fry
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 lb. lean ground beef 85/15
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root minced
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ¼ cup green onions green parts only thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as you cook, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the beef. Return it to the skillet. Add the garlic and the ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Stir the sauce into the beef. Cook for 2 more minutes, until heated through and the sauce thickens.
- Off heat, drizzle the dish with sesame oil, sprinkle it with green onions, and serve.
Notes
- I highly recommend using lean ground beef in this recipe (85% lean and 15% fat). Don’t go any leaner than that or it will be too dry and not as flavorful.
- Sesame oil is a must. It greatly enhances the dish, so please don’t skip it
- If using a sugar-free honey substitute, a serving contains 3 grams of carbs.
- You can keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them gently, covered, in the microwave at 50% power.
