Cuisine: Korean
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb ground beef
  2. 1/4 cup soy sauce
  3. 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  6. 4 cups cooked rice
  7. 1 cup steamed broccoli
  8. Sesame seeds for garnish
  9. Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure that the ground beef is thawed if previously frozen, and have your rice cooked and ready to go.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until the brown sugar is fully dissolved. This will be your marinade for the beef.
  3. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef to the pan.
  4. Cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  5. Pour the marinade mixture over the cooked beef in the skillet. Stir well to ensure that all the beef is coated with the sauce. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. While the beef is simmering, prepare your bowls. Start with a base of 1 cup of cooked rice in each bowl.
  7. Once the beef is ready, distribute it evenly over the rice in each bowl.
  8. Add a generous portion of steamed broccoli to each bowl, placing it alongside the beef.
  9. For garnish, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each bowl and add sliced green onions for a fresh crunch.
  10. Serve the Korean Beef Power Bowls immediately, and enjoy your delicious meal!

Tips

  1. Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the marinade a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to develop even more!
  2. Choose Your Beef: While ground beef is traditional, feel free to experiment with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  3. Customize Your Bowls: Add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for extra color and nutrition.
  4. Perfectly Cooked Rice: Use day-old rice for the best texture, or cook your rice in advance and let it cool slightly before assembling the bowls.
  5. Garnish Generously: Don’t skimp on the sesame seeds and green onions—they add a delightful crunch and fresh flavor that elevate the dish.
  6. Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter sauce, increase the brown sugar slightly, or for a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  7. Serve Hot: These bowls are best enjoyed immediately while everything is warm and fresh.Enjoy creating this delicious meal that’s sure to impress everyone at your table!
