Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red chili paste)

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup green onions, chopped (green and white parts separated)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

Sesame seeds for garnish

Sliced cucumbers for serving

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil and allow it to warm.

Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain excess fat if necessary, then stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the beef absorb the flavors.

Add the chopped green onions (white parts) and shredded carrots to the skillet, mixing well until carrots are just tender, about 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
