A delightful one-bowl meal combining savory ground beef with rice and vibrant veggies, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 blend for flavor)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5–7 minutes).
- Drain excess fat if necessary, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
- Pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- If using, add broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook until tender, about 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Serve the cooked rice topped with the savory ground beef mixture.
- Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added crunch and flavor boost.
