Description
This easy Korean ground beef bowl is a one pan meal of seasoned ground beef served over rice, inspired by the flavors of Korean takeout. Ready in about 20 minutes, with savory-sweet flavor from ginger, garlic, and red pepper.
Ingredients
- 1 shallot, diced
- 2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 1/4 cup mayo (optional sauce)
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional sauce)
- Chopped green onions (optional topping)
- Sliced avocado (optional topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the rice according to package instructions so it is ready to serve.
- Dice the shallot and grate the ginger.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add sesame oil.
- Once hot, add the ground beef and break it up into small pieces.
- Add the diced shallot, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well and cook until the beef is browned and develops crispy bits, about 8 minutes.
- Add the coconut aminos and fish sauce. Continue cooking for 3–5 minutes, until the liquid evaporates and the beef develops caramelized crispy bits.
- If making the optional sauce, mix the mayo and hot sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
- Serve the beef over cooked rice and top with optional sauce, green onions, and sliced avocado if desired.
Notes
- Braggs liquid aminos are saltier than coconut aminos, so if substituting, start with 2–3 tablespoons and adjust to taste.
- If omitting fish sauce, replace it with more coconut aminos and add salt if needed.
