Korean Beef Stir-Fry Bowl

Ingredients 0/15

Step 1

Lightly heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook it, stirring often, until it's nicely browned and crumbly—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat, then stir in a splash of sesame oil for some extra flavor.

Step 2

Grab a food processor and combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, water, chopped Asian pear, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of black pepper. Pulse everything together until it’s mixed well but still has a bit of texture.

Step 3

Pour this sauce mixture into the skillet with the beef. Let it cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beef is nicely coated—about 7 to 9 minutes.

Step 4

To serve, spoon some cooked brown rice into a bowl. Top it with a generous helping of the beef mixture, then add fresh lettuce, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Repeat with the rest of your ingredients, and enjoy!
