Here’s a healthy and flavorful Korean ground beef bowl recipe that’s quick and easy to make:

Ingredients

For the Beef

1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean or ground turkey for a lighter option)

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for refined sugar-free)

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or ½ tsp ground ginger)

½ tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1 tbsp rice vinegar (optional, for added tang)

For the Bowl

2 cups cooked brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice

1 cup steamed or roasted broccoli

1 cup shredded carrots

½ cup thinly sliced cucumbers

1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

Cook the Ground Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.

Prepare the Sauce

While the beef cooks, mix soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.

Combine

Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat if needed.

Pour the sauce into the skillet with the beef and stir well to coat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Assemble the Bowl

Divide the cooked rice (or substitute) into bowls.

Top with the Korean ground beef, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and cucumbers.

Garnish

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Tips

Add a fried egg on top for extra protein and richness.

Spice it up with gochujang or sriracha if you like heat!
