Ingredients

4 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp ginger finely chopped
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
½ tsp sriracha or other hot sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1½ cups green onions sliced
1 lb extra lean ground beef

Instructions

Finely chop the garlic and ginger, place in a small bowl and set aside.
Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, hot sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.
Slice the green onions placing them into two bowls, one bowl containing approximately ½ cup of sliced green parts only, and the other bowl containing the rest of the sliced green onions.
Heat the fry pan over medium high heat and add the lean ground beef. Stirring occasionally with a spatula about 4 minutes.
Once the ground beef is almost completely cooked you can drain any excess oil released during the cooking. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for a couple of minutes.
Add the bowl with approximately 1 cup of sliced green onions and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the sauce and heat through for about 1 minute.
Serve over rice and garnish with the leftover green onions and sesame seeds if you like.

Notes

You can easily double this recipe as long as you have a large enough skillet to cook the ground beef. You might need to work in batches or use two pans if doubling.

Serve over rice, kimchi, or serve with shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers and bok choy to make a Korean Beef Bowl.

Leftovers should be immediately place in a sealed container and into the fridge where they can be stored for three days. This dish can also be frozen in a Ziploc bag or sealed container for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
