Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93/7 ratio)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break into large chunks; let sear undisturbed for 3 minutes until a deep crust forms.
  2. Break beef into smaller crumbles. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute until aromatic.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, gochujang, honey, and rice vinegar. Pour over the beef and stir to coat. Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce reduces into a thick glaze.
  4. Assemble the bowls by layering 0.5 cup jasmine rice, a portion of the glazed beef, and steamed broccoli. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
