Imagine a dish that’s both easy to make and packed with flavor – that’s what you get with this recipe!

First, let’s start with the star of the show: ground beef. Brown it in a saucepan with some salt and pepper, and don’t forget to remove the excess grease.
Now, here’s a trick to take your dish to the next level: pulse the browned ground beef in a food processor a few times until it’s finely ground. Trust us, it makes a difference!

Next, add some sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Stir in brown sugar, soy sauce (use low-sodium if you’re watching your salt intake), and sriracha (or crushed red pepper for some heat).
Now it’s time to add some freshness to the dish. Stir in half of the chopped green onions, reserving the rest for garnish.

Serve the Korean Ground Beef over hot cooked rice, garnished with chopped green onions and a side of sliced cucumber. The cucumber adds a wonderful crunch and freshness to the dish!
This recipe is perfect for meal prep, as it reheats well on the stove. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.
Some of you have tried this recipe and had great results! One tip is to use low-sodium soy sauce and adjust the amount to your taste. Another tip is to add a tsp of cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
