Easy Korean Ground Beef Recipe

Ingredients Needed –

*you can find exact measurements in the printable recipe below

• Lean Ground Beef – you could also use ground turkey for a leaner option!
• Garlic
• Ginger – I like to use the fresh ginger in the tubes
• Sesame Oil – I use light sesame oil, but dark would work too
• Brown Sugar – gives the dish it’s signature sweetness
• Soy Sauce – use low sodium soy sauce if desired
• Chili Garlic Sauce – like Huy Fong
• Green Onions

How To Make Korean Ground Beef

• Start by browning your lean ground beef in a skillet with garlic and ginger.
• Drain any excess fat and then return to the stove top.
• Season with a little sesame oil, brown sugar, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce (or Sriracha if desired).

We love to serve this deliciously seasoned ground beef right on top of a bed of hot rice.

To make it a full meal –I’ll add sliced cucumbers and matchstick carrots alongside the ground beef and rice.

How Can I Make this Ground Beef Recipe Low Carb?

Believe it or not, this Korean Ground Beef Recipe can easily be converted to a low carb meal!

• Swap out the brown sugar for a low carb brown sugar sweetener.
• Serve the ground beef over a bed of hot cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
• Try serving the Korean Ground Beef mixture in a lettuce wrap for a fun taco-inspired dish!

This super easy ground beef recipe comes together in less than 15 minutes with ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

PRO TIP: start cooking the rice before I even start browning the beef because it cooks that fast! If you’re using minute rice, you’ll be sitting down to eat dinner even quicker!
