Weeknight Korean Beef Recipe 

My husband and I LOVE to make Asian food. Anything that contains sesame seed oil we get excited about. The only problem is that Asian food can be an extremely lengthy process. When we first tried this Korean beef recipe we were in love! It has a great flavor and is a wonderful way to make ground beef into something delicious!!! The only ingredient that you may not have is the sesame seed oil. It is a cheap ingredient (about four dollars at our local grocers), but it lasts forever. This recipe is by no means authentic, but the original is much more time consuming and costly. This is a great cheater recipe that can give you a korean beef feel on a busy night.

Korean Beef and Rice

Ingredients:

¼ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

¼ teaspoon ginger

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

3 cloves minced garlic

1 pound ground beef

2 green onions

First off, take the vegetable oil and place it in a plan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about a minute until the garlic is fragrant.

Secondly, add the ground beef to the garlic and oil. Cook the meat until completely brown about 3-5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat.

Next, in a small bowl combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. Mix until the brown sugar has been incorporated. 

Place the pan with the meat back on the stove over medium heat and add the brown sugar mixture.

Lastly take the green onions and mix into the beef.
