Creating a delicious Korean Ground Beef Bowl is straightforward. Follow these steps to whip up your meal effortlessly:
1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Drain and Rinse: Once the beef is browned, drain the excess fat and rinse the meat under warm water to eliminate grease.
3. Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir until well mixed.
4. Combine Beef and Sauce: Add the sauce mixture to the skillet with the ground beef. Stir well to coat all the meat. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
5. Add Vegetables: Stir in the shredded carrots and half of the green onions. Cook until the carrots are slightly tender, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve Over Rice: Prepare a bowl with a serving of cooked rice and spoon the ground beef mixture on top.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and drizzle with Sriracha if you want an extra kick.
8. Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the amazing flavors!
