Servings: 6
Ingredients
For Sauce Mixture:
- ¼ cup Tamari sauce
- 2 TB pure honey
- 1 TB Asian sesame oil
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
For Beef Stir Fry:
- 3 TB olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 lb extra lean ground beef, I use 90% lean
- Optional Garnishes: thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, more red pepper flakes, Gochujang Sauce
- Other: Cooked Jasmine rice or other favorite grain for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and stir to combine well. Set aside.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat until slightly smoking. Add onion and garlic, stirring 2-3 minutes or until aromatic and translucent.
- Add ground beef and stir while breaking the beef up into small bits, about 1-2 min. when beef is about halfway cooked, add your sauce mixture and stir to combine thoroughly with beef. Continue to cook until beef is browned and cooked through.
- Serve immediately over bowls of warm rice, gently mixing the beef into the rice a bit. Serve with garnishes of your choice. We recommend Gochujang sauce.
Notes
- We prefer tamari sauce over regular soy sauce, as it is naturally gluten free, is generally less salty, and has more depth of flavor.
- Korean beef bowl tastes best when beef is mixed into the rice so no plain rice is sitting by itself at the bottom :)
