“Sweet, savory, slightly spicy. No marinating needed — ground beef delivers Korean BBQ flavors instantly.”
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through (5–7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the beef. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce over the cooked beef.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and glazes the beef.
Stir in half of the sliced green onions. Remove from heat, garnish with remaining green onions and sesame seeds, and serve over rice.
