A delicious and easy recipe for Ground Beef Bulgogi, a Korean-inspired dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice vinegar, gochujang, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked ground beef in the skillet. Stir to coat the beef evenly with the sauce.
- Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Stir in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional minute.
- Serve the bulgogi over cooked rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add more gochujang or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
