Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) 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 to taste)

• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

• 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)

• 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

• Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

 Directions

1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5–7 minutes).

2. Add Aromatics: Drain excess fat if necessary, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Stir in Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Add Vegetables: If using, add broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook until tender, about 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently.

5. Prepare Rice: While the beef cooks, prep your rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.

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

7. Garnish: Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
