Korean Beef Bowls
One of my favourite quick, easy meals. This comes together in about 20 minutes and is irresitably delicious. It is gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free and you can bet this is a regular on our table!
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil or oil of choice
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1/4 cup coconut or liquid aminos or soy sauce
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp dried ginger or 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- pinch red pepper flakes
Optional Garnish:
- handful green onions or chives, chopped cilantro works well too
- 1/2 cup cucumbers, diced
- 2 tbsp chia or sesame seeds
- pinch red pepper flakes if more heat is desired
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet with olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go. Drain any excess fat once browned (my beef is very lean so I never need to do this).
- While the beef is browning, combine the remaining ingredients (except garnish) in a bowl or jar and whisk or shake to combine.
- Add the sauce to the browned beef and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has reduced down a bit and the beef is darker in colour and starting to get nice and crispy/sticky. Cover and remove from heat.
- Serve beef over rice (or cauliflower rice for low carb) and top with optional garnishes if desired. I like to serve this with Garlic Butter Green Beans but it would also be delicious with any roasted or sautéed green vegetable.
