Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp gochujang (optional)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. Brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains, about 5 minutes, then drain most of the fat.
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, gochujang, and rice vinegar until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, pour the sauce over the beef, and stir for 2 to 3 minutes until the liquid thickens and coats the meat. Serve over rice with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Measure all the sauce ingredients before you start browning the beef; the dish moves fast and the sauce hits the pan while everything is still hot.
