Instructions
Start cooking your rice before you start making the Korean Beef to make sure the rice is done on time!
Brown your ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain and rinse (optional).
While your meat is browning, mix all of the sauce ingredients together and mix well. Set aside while your meat is browning.
After your ground beef has browned, add the sauce to your meat. Mix well. Let the sauce simmer and reduce for 10-15 minutes. (I let mine simmer on a medium-low setting, adjust the heat as needed).
Serve over rice and top with chopped green onions.
Notes
You can use one pound of ground beef, there will just be a bit of extra sauce (which is never a bad thing).If the sauce seems like it is too much for you, you can easily half the sauce, you just won't have as much sauce for serving. You can also make some more sauce to add in later if you start out with only half the recipe.Use whatever rice you like. Basic brown rice or long grain white rice, or an aromatic rice like Jasmine or Basmati.
