Korean Beef Bowls

Step 1

Combine the beef broth with the cornstarch and mix until well combined. Make sure the broth is not warm/hot so that you don’t activate the cornstarch. Mix in the remaining sauce ingredients and store in a cool place until ready to use.

Step 2

Season the ground beef with salt/pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook and crumble for 3 minutes, then add the onions and garlic. Sauté until the beef is cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Drain any grease.

Step 3

Add the sauce and bring it to a boil. Let it continue to boil, thicken, and reduce for 3 minutes, or until desired consistency is obtained. Stir periodically as it cooks. There will be a lot of sauce at first, but it will continue to reduce and thicken.

Step 4

Remove from heat. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or in lettuce wraps! (See notes for my method for making perfectly cooked rice.)
